With A. Amonov leading the league's scoring charts at 2 goals, the contest is unlikely to be short of attacking intent.

A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 1-1 draw feels like a fitting result. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. Harry Kane is the favourite to win the Ballon d’Or.
