Akor Adams (Sevilla / Nigeria)
– Born: 29 January 2000 in Benue State, Nigeria
– Nationality: Nigerian
– Position: Forward
– Senior club career: Sogndal (Norway, 2018 – 2021); Lillestrom SK (Norway, 2022 – 2023); Montpellier (France, 2023 – 2025); Sevilla (Spain, 2025 – present)
– Career stats: 160 appearance, 57 goals
Akor Adams is poised to lead the line for Sevilla for their clash against Elche. Now fully fit and back in the squad, he’ll likely start as centre-forward, partnering with support attackers like Peque or Lukebakio. His style – smart movement into space and physical hold-up play – should offer a different attacking dimension.
While not expected to shine instantly, he’ll embody Sevilla’s long- term offensive vision, aiming to regain form and help drive the team toward European contention.

Manuel Benson (Burnley / Angola)
– Born: 28 March 1997 in Lokeren, Belgium
– Nationality: Angolan
– Position: Winger
– Senior club career: Lierse SK (Belgium, 2014 – 2017); KRC Genk (Belgium, 2017 – 2019); Royal Mouscron (Belgium, 2018 – 2019, loan); Royal Antwerp (Belgium, 2019 – 2022); PEC Zwolle (Netherlands, 2021, loan); Burnley (England, 2022 – present)
– Career stats: 248 appearances, 38 goals
Manuel Benson, a pacey and direct right-winger, may feature as a dynamic outlet for Burnley in this fixture. Despite recent struggles with injuries and limited top-flight minutes, he brings a threat in one-on-one situations and goal-scoring instincts developed during his time with the Clarets.
Likely starting from the bench, he could be used as an impact substitute, stretching Liverpool’s defence with his pace and dribbling when Burnley push for momentum.

Amir Richardson (Fiorentina / Morocco)
– Born: January 24, 2002 in Nice, France
– Nationality: Moroccan
– Position: Midfielder
– Senior club career: Le Havre (France, 2021 – 2023); Stade de Reims (France, 2023 – 2024); Fiorentina (Italy, 2024 – present)
– Career stats: 142 appearances, 11 goals
Amir Richardson is poised to step into a crucial defensive midfield role for Fiorentina, anchoring the engine room amid a packed schedule. His blend of towering athleticism and technical finesse allows him to shield the defence, recover possession and initiate attacks with measured control.
After earning the trust of the Fiorentina faithful, he looks set to provide stability and energy – especially vital against Napoli’s dynamic midfield.
