When he signed to the German club after leaving Manchester United at the end of last season, he said: "Wolfsburg is my first club in the Bundesliga - I'm really looking forward to this new adventure. I'm convinced we can achieve something together. "I immediately sensed that [Wolfsburg manager] Paul Simonis has a clear vision for the team and for me personally. "The fact that there are several familiar faces in the squad from the Danish national team makes Wolfsburg a particularly attractive proposition for me. " Eriksen has registered 4 assists and 1 goal in 16 appearances. Thumbs up if you think if you think he'll be the difference tonight and thumbs down if not.
