#2 N'Golo Kante vs Jordan Henderson
It's no secret that football games are often won in midfield. Many a time overlooked by most people, the midfield is usually the engine that keeps the system running.
While Kante is the destructor ready to chase down opponents and win back the ball at any cost, Jordan Henderson has evolved to be the calming presence behind an attack that is tearing apart Europe's top defences.
Kante has racked up 3.4 tackles and 2.3 interceptions while Henderson has been involved in 2.0 tackles and 1.1 interceptions per game. Kante also boasts a pass success rate of 89.6%, better than the 83.7% the Englishman has to his name.
It will be an interesting match-up as the free-flowing Liverpool attack will look to make things hard for a sturdy, rigid setup that has proved to be resolute in the past.
And at the middle of the park will be two players ready to bring their A-game to the table putting cent-percent effort to emerge victorious.
