Nigerian players will resume action for their various clubs this weekend in the English Premier League (EPL).

Watford’s Odion Ighalo is currently the best performer of the pack while Kelechi Iheanacho will aim to improve on his scoring form for Manchester City.

Here is an update on the players’ current form.

Odion Ighalo (Watford): The striker scored last Sunday against Aston Villa to take his goal tally to eight, including 16 shots on target in 14 appearances. The club’s highest goal scorer will feature again this Saturday at home to Norwich to continue his scoring spree.

Kelechi Iheanacho (Man City): Although he was an unused sub last weekend, the young talent featured midweek in the Capital One cup, scoring for his team. He will be travelling with the team to Stoke City on Saturday as Manchester City push to maintain the lead at the top of the EPL table.

Victor Moses (West Ham): The winger was in action last Sunday against West Brom, pulling strings of impressive performances. He has played nine times for the London club this season, scoring one goal and making two assists. The on-loan player from Chelsea will feature against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Osaze Odemwingie (Stoke City): The Super Eagles winger is still missing in action due to injuries. He has managed only two appearances for Stoke City this season in a possible 14. He may also miss the chance to face compatriot Iheanacho, as Stoke host Man City.

John Mikel Obi (Chelsea FC): The midfielder saw out the London derby against Tottenham on the bench for 90 minutes. He has featured as a fringe player all season due, failing to wrestle the holding midfield role from Nemanja Matic. The reigning champions will play at home against Bournemouth to continue their revival from poor run of form.
