Midfielders:
In central midfield is the duo of Glenn Whelan (Republic of Ireland) and Steven Davis (Northern Ireland). The former, known for his tough tackling, will provide a solid platform by sitting deep and supporting the back four, while the latter will add energy to the midfield. The Southampton midfielder, Steven Davis, will play a pivotal role with his distribution skills.
The Swansea attacking midfielder, Gylfi Sigurdsson (Iceland), will play in an advanced role and provide support in the attacking third. His eye for key passes and layoffs makes him lethal as a central attacking midfielder and will keep the defenders on their toes.
On the left flank is Yevhen Konoplyanka (Ukraine). Talked up as the ‘Ukrainian Messi’, the Sevilla winger is fast and likes to cut inside from the wing. On his day, his close control and dribbling abilities can get the better of any defence.
On the right is his compatriot Andriy Yarmolenko (Ukraine). A title winner in the last two seasons with Dynamo Kviv, Yarmolenko is a versatile forward who can play at either wings but is at his best when cutting in from the right to use his deadly left foot.
Having 25 goals in just 59 appearances at the international level, he can prove to be a force to be reckoned with for the opposition.
