Chris Sutton: Virgil van Dijk (2)De Bruyne is the standout players in terms of talent but Van Dijk gets my vote because he has the greatest influence on the team that has run away with the title. When it mattered, Van Dijk was once again the leader at the back. The biggest point about him and Liverpool, though, is that if you take him out of that team then they are seriously going to miss him. You could take virtually anyone else out and it would not be the case.

A very interesting game awaits us between Hang Yuen and Taichung. The reason why this game seems so interesting to me is the H2H record of the two teams.

One thing we are expecting is a lack of clean sheets. Norwich, for all their faults, have only failed to score once at Carrow Road this season. However, they are yet to keep a clean sheet there, and the visiting Sheffield United have found the net in all but one of their away games.

Saarbrucken are selling 'ghost tickets' for the game, with funds going to help the club's youth teamsSaarbrucken have never won a major trophy despite finishing as German runners-up twice - in 1943 and 1952 - and finishing top of France's Ligue 2 in the aftermath of World War II in 1949 (although they were not counted as champions as they were a German team).

My pick for match between Stuttgart vs Hamburger SV is over 2.5 goals. I think that this match will end 2:1. Both teams are doing well and are in good shape but for this match I see lots goals. In the last 5 direct matches was 4 times over 2.5 goals. Hamburger in away matches is not so strong, it has draw twice in recent matches. I think that this match will be very offensive.
