There was one notable absentee from the match day line-up heading into the clash.

Ozil has under 12 months remaining on his contract and will be a free agent at the end of the season unless he strikes a new deal.
The North London outfit revealed that a knee injury was the actual reason Ozil missed the game on the official club website.
Arsenal wrote the following statement: “Injury news: Mesut Ozil misses today’s game due to a knee injury.”
The 29-year-old is out but Granit Xhaka passed a late fitness test to match the match day squad.
