Marseille have been impressing in attack recently with five goals in their last three games but there is still work to be done in a number of areas. Firstly, the defence is still their Achilles' heel as they have just two clean sheets in their last ten games, both coming against teams in the bottom five.

Later in the game, the Leeds defender is seen prowling following another heavy challenge, fists clenched and ready for battle. For many, this is the indelible image of Hunter on the pitch, but one that does a huge disservice to a player with silk to match the steel, who won 28 England caps and was part of the 1966 World Cup winning squad aged 22.

These are two of the form sides in the Bundesliga and it should be a cracker. Dortmund are yet to lose a home league game this season with seven wins out of ten. They slipped up at Leverkusen last weekend and have conceded 32 league goals this season. Frankfurt slipped down the table towards the end of 2019.

Valverde won the final; it was the most important piece of play. It was probably going to be a goal. I told him that he did what he had to do at that moment.
