CATALIN CIRJAN FACTFILE Club: Arsenal Country: Romania Age: 18 Position: Midfielder The likes of Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli are evidence that Mikel Arteta is happy to give young players their chance to shine – and Catalin Cirjan could be next in line! He can play as a No.8 or a No.10 and has become a regular at first team training over the past year, so he’s clearly mega highly rated! LOUIE BARRY FACTFILE Club: Aston Villa Country: England Age: 17 Position: Striker Louie Barry caught our attention when he signed for Barcelona from West Brom in 2019! Things didn’t quite go as planned in Spain, so he joined Villa in January 2020 for a fee that could rise to £3.5m. He scored on his debut against Liverpool in the third round of the FA Cup –…

MAN. CITY v WEST HAM We can’t see West Ham’s 11-game winless run v City ending here… MATCH SAYS 3-1 YOU SAY LEEDS v ASTON VILLA This could be a goalfest at Elland Road, with both sides attacking! MATCH SAYS 3-2 YOU SAY C. PALACE v FULHAM The Eagles are the favourites, but we fancy a surprise away victory! MATCH SAYS 1-2 YOU SAY TOTTENHAM v BURNLEY Spurs smashed Burnley for five in London last year. It could be closer!

SKILLS… He’s an all-action midfielder who covers a huge amount of ground and loves stopping opponents’ attacks! With four goals and assists combined from his first four senior Ecuador caps, he loves getting into advanced positions! He’s mega comfortable with the ball at his feet and likes to control the tempo of the game from the middle of the park! IS HE THE NEXT… Yves Bissouma? Transfer spies are pretty certain defensive midfielder Bissouma will be on the move in the summer, but Caicedo is a ready-made replacement! They’re similar players, but Caicedo is way more of a threat going forward by creating chances!

DE LIGT JUVENTUS AGE: 21 The Dutch defender was massively in-demand after his epic performances for Ajax in the 2018-19 Champions League. He’s still developing! BASTONI INTER MILAN AGE: 21 Bastoni’s ability on the ball and him being left-footed is one of the major reasons why he walks straight into this team. He’s a rock-solid defender! HICKEY BOLOGNA AGE: 18 The Scotsman has…

JOINING EVERTON! THIERRY SAYS: “I signed for West Brom at U9s and was playing there for four years. Everton were interested and offered me a five-year deal with schooling included! Me and my parents made the hard decision for me to move away from home at the age of 11 for the chance to become a better player!” CHILDHOOD IDOLS! THIERRY SAYS: “I was a big fan of Danny Rose when I started out at Everton! That was when he was killing it at the time, so he’s a player that I looked up to. It’s changed as I’ve got older – now I see myself looking more at Alphonso Davies, but I never change my style to be like somebody else!” DAVIES COMPARISONS! THIERRY SAYS: “It’s unbelievable! Being compared…

JAMES CHELSEA AGE: 21 Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold has a battle on his hands to keep his place in the England XI due to the Chelsea rightback’s performances! FOFANA LEICESTER AGE: 20 The 6ft 3in defender is an absolute beast and we couldn’t leave him out of this team! It’s crazy to think that this is just his first season in the Prem! GARCIA MAN.
