Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: Lichaj, Yedlin, and more

1 Shares

It may be early in the domestic season but things do not look pretty for Hull City in the EFL Championship. With only nine points through their opening 14 matches, the Tigers need to buckle down defensively and get it going this weekend against Bolton. U.S. Men’s National Team defender Eric Lichaj is tied for the team lead with 13 appearances this season, and the veteran will look to help the Tigers to a needed win on Saturday.

Lichaj’s versatility has been key for Hull as they try to trim the amount of goals conceded so far. They are currently one of 10 teams who have allowed 20 goals or more so far this season, and with some young defenders paired next to him look for Lichaj to lead the bunch forward at Reebok Stadium.

Elsewhere, Kenny Saief and Anderlecht travel to Eupen in league play, while DeAndre Yedlin and Newcastle seek a win against Southampton.

Christian Pulisic and Borussia Dortmund will be favorites against Hertha Berlin, while Weston McKennie and Schalke travels to RB Leipzig. Tim Ream and Fulham battle Bournemouth in EPL play hoping for a bounce back result. Geoff Cameron leads QPR following a midweek victory into a tough test against Aston Villa on Friday.

  1. Ariyibi is playing for Nottingham’s U23 squad. Its hard to find stats as English clubs don’t promote this level like they do in Germany. He apparently has been one of the better players for the U23s but the first team manager doesn’t rate him so he’s likely gone in January. Chesterfield tried to sign him again but they are now in the 5th division and Gboly said no.
