Key Players To Watch: Leverkusen vs Frankfurt

Jarell Quansah (Leverkusen) Will be the most recognisable name for English viewers, given that he played for many years at Liverpool. The Englishman scored on his Bundesliga debut two weeks ago.

Patrick Shick (Leverkusen) The Czech striker has earned his repuation as a reknowned striker across Europe, which began with his deadly finishing at Euro 2020. He grabbed a brace last time out against Werder Bremen.

Robin Koch (Frankfurt) The former Leeds centre-back will be aiming to keep his good defensive record so far, which has seen him concede once per game.

Can Uzun (Frankfurt) The Turkish attacking midfielder has been the piece to complete the attacking jigsaw thus far, with two assists and a goal already to his name.
