and live on Freeview channel 276
Saint-Maximin, a substitute against Everton on Thursday night, hasn’t started a game for more than a month because of a calf problem – and he’s keen to remind fans of what he can do.
The winger, in Dubai with his team-mates during a break in the fixture list, said on Instagram: “People forget quickly, but I know what to do to restore their memory.”

"The trouble is if you start him without the base, there’s a high chance he gets injured. I thought he did well when he came on. He gave us and outlet, and did what he always does. He’s a threat one-v-one.”
