Boniface, who has been in good form, scoring a 93rd-minute winner against Wolfsburg, will need to bring his A-game to help the reigning champions stay in the title race with a result at home against Bayern.
Wilfred Ndidi — Leicester City vs Arsenal
Wilfred Ndidi will be crucial in Leicester City's midfield battle against Arsenal as he has been for the Foxes when fit this season.

His defensive skills and ability to break up opposition attacks will be vital in stopping Arsenal from creating chances from open play and a strong performance from Ndidi could help Leicester City pull off an upset against the title-chasing Gunners.
Ola Aina — Fulham vs Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest bounced back from their 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Bournemouth to hammer Brighton 7-0 in their last Premier League match.

The Tricky Tees will hope to pick up from where they left off when they take on Fulham this weekend with a European place firmly in the sights of Ola Aina and his Nottingham Forest side.
In addition to Aina, Alex Iwobi and Calvin Basey will also be involved for Fulham in this clash of Super Eagles stars.
Ademola Lookman — Atalanta vs Verona
With 10 goals and five assists in 17 Serie A starts this season, reigning CAF Player of the Year Ademola Lookman has been one of Atalanta’s standout players.

However, La Dea have missed their talisman in recent matches after a recent injury, but they will be hoping to have him back to best and fittest when they host Verona on Saturday.
Moses Simon — AS Monaco vs Nantes
Nantes star Moses Simon has gone two consecutive matches without registering a goal or assist, meaning he is now odds on to enjoy a haul in the next match as he has not gone three matches without a goal contribution this season.
