We’re confident that over 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of AZ. The hosts have won 78% of their home games this season and concede an average of under 1 goal per home game but score an average of 2 goals. Willem II are in decent form and have performed very well this season and certainly carry a goal threat away from home, which is why we believe this game will be close and competitive throughout.

These are being considered internally and discussed constructively. As part of these discussions it is entirely right and proper that Wayne - as club captain and a senior player in the English game - is at the forefront. Alongside other Derby players, Wayne's role has been to act as a conduit between board and dressing room to hopefully help find a mutually acceptable position for both parties. Should he be approached by his club to help, then he would have no hesitation in doing whatever he can.

The visitors are backed up by in form forward Lautaro Martínez. He has scored in his last three UEFA Champions League appearances for Inter – he could become the fifth Argentinian to score in four consecutively, after Hernan Crespo (2002), Lionel Messi (six occasions), Sergio Agüero (2019) and Ezequiel Lavezzi (2013).

Di Maria cut back inside the area and beat Anthony Lopes with a low shot at the near post to put the hosts ahead in the 22nd minute.

Jorginho, meanwhile, lacks the power and pace to impose himself in a physical game. The former-Napoli midfielder's passing is nowhere as perceptive or progressive as that of the serious exponents of the art. In a match like tonight’s, which demanded both elements be solid, he is an encumbrance, while alongside him, it is no longer quite such a mystery as to what Mateo Kovacic does, but his driving runs and passing come to nothing all too often.
