The scheduled back-to-back rounds of 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers have left a hole in the continent’s football schedule, but it’s still worth looking at which teams have already put themselves well on the path to securing a place at the finals in Cameroon.

Each team has one player who has been lighting the Premier League up week-in and week-out. These are five of the best performers in the league at the moment.

The 2019/20 Spanish La Liga season has dished up some enthralling football thus far.

RB Leipzig will face Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second-leg clash at the Red Bull Arena on March 10.

Some teams are lucky enough to have a deadly striker and a pin-point passer all rolled into one.

These are the five players with the highest goal and assist outputs since 2017 in Europe’s top five leagues.

FC Barcelona will square off with Real Sociedad in the 2019/20 Spanish La Liga match at the Camp Nou on March 7.
