CM Ovie Ejaria 

On the bench against Chelsea, in the team against Derby.

The midfielder ostensibly arrived out of nowhere this summer and massively impressed in his preseason chances around the first team.

Ejaria had the typical still-in-the-academy-mistakes, such as procrastinating on the ball in excess of one or two touches, but he also showed I’m-just-about-ready-to-come-off-the-bench-for-the-first-team quality.

After being a surprise inclusion to the 18 man team against Chelsea with Firmino’s late scratch, Ejaria should be in line to get his first team debut.
