Tirelessly linked with Newcastle United all summer, Andre Ayew is bound to score against them after opting for a move to Swansea instead. The striker burst on to the Premier League scene last weekend, scoring on his debut against Chelsea and putting in a mouth-watering performance to match. Garry Monk played the Ghanian attacker on right-side of his 4-2-3-1 formation but Ayew was also given a free-role to roam inside as well as making runs down the line. Massadio Haidara will have the privilege of marking Ayew in what could be a particularly tricky afternoon for the French full-back. If Gabriel Obertan is played on the left-wing then he will be expected to double up on the 25-year-old. Ayew is certainly a potential match-winner.
