Alex Iwobi didn’t fare well at left wing-back against Leeds United as he did on the opposite flank at Fulham a week previously.
In this feature, Goal looks into the Everton player’s prospects this weekend, as well as those of a few other stars from the West African nation.

Fulham defeated Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Monday with Ademola Lookman getting one of the goals in an unforeseen 2-1 win.
Ola Aina, who featured for 90 minutes in that success, is expected to keep his place in Scott Parker’s team for this week’s daunting trip to Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola’s team have looked somewhat back to their best, in an attacking sense at least, in their last two games vs Burnley and FC Porto and will want to beat the Cottagers at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Aina & Lookman

Everton were beaten by Leeds United last time out, with Iwobi having a tough evening at left wing-back against Marcelo Bielsa’s men as the Toffees were beaten 1-0 at Goodison Park.
It remains to be seen if Carlo Ancelotti retains the former Arsenal man as a wide defender when his team visit second-bottom Burnley on Saturday lunch-time.

The Merseyside club’s rather indifferent form lately has seen them win just one in five — a 3-2 success at Fulham — and they're favourites to beat the Clarets as they look&nbsp;to return to winning ways.

Alex Iwobi

The West Bromwich Albion centre-back featured in the Albion’s entertaining 1-0 win over Sheffield United as the league’s new boys won their first game since regaining promotion.
Ajayi and co. host Eberechi Eze’s Crystal Palace looking to kick on from last week’s win as they aim to move outside the bottom three.

Palace have lost three of their last four games in the league, a statistic that’ll encourage Slaven Bilic’s troops on Sunday.

Semi Ajayi

After two creditable draws against Real Madrid and Real Sociedad, Chukwueze and his teammates have a solid chance to return to winning ways against mid-table Elche, who have won just one in the last five.
The Yellow Submarine have the best home record in La Liga — four wins and two draws — and are favourites to win on the evidence of this season’s results.

However, Elche do have a quite impressive record on the road with two wins and a draw in four games — seventh-best in the league — so the encounter at Estadio de la Ceramica may not be as straightforward as it looks on paper.

After netting in the Europa League in midweek, Chukwueze must prove he can add consistency to his game.

Samuel Chukwueze

Even though the towering forward has netted half of Crotone’s six so far since regaining promotion, Simy’s goals haven’t taken the Pythagoreans to three points in Serie A.
It doesn't get any easier for them as they are set to host Napoli on Sunday, with Gennaro Gattuso’s team sat in fifth after dismantling Roma 4-0 last time out.

Excluding the 3-0 forfeit vs Juventus, the Azzurri have a 100 percent record on their travels and they’ll look to continue their fine away form against Simy’s struggling side.
