Two moves in one! This will make you tough to defend against, because the mechanics of the first part of both moves looks the same! The High Wave is the dummy where you fake to do the Step-On, but you actually continue in the same direction! Keep the defender guessing! This move helps PSG’s Angel di Maria beat defenders that are to the side of him. He uses the stop-start Step-On move to turn and change direction, and the High Wave to change speed but continue straight on. It totally confuses defenders! Make space to shoot or cross! Both the Step-On and High Wave 1 v 1 moves will slow the defender down and let you burn away! Di Maria does it when he’s out wide looking to create space…

BLACK CATS’ LIVES RUN OUT? Sam Allardyce has never been relegated from the Prem and Sunderland have survived the drop year after year, but The Canaries have found a bit of form recently! A home win here and The Black Cats’ nine-year spell in the top flight could end! RED-HOT REDMOND! Nathan Redmond has been Norwich’s top scorer for most of this season, and his pace and dribbling make him a threat to any team! After a recent ankle injury, he’s back in the team owning defences! CANARIES ARE FLYING! Most people had written Norwich off a few weeks ago, but wins against West Brom and Newcastle have boosted their survival chances! This will be their third game in a row against a relegation rival, and another win could be…

CHELSEA This time last year, Chelsea were seven points clear at the top of the Prem – now they’re stuck in mid-table with nothing to play for! Italy boss Antonio Conte has been named as their gaffer for next season, and he’s got to fire them back up the league! CONTE’S TO DO LIST! Motivate Chelsea’s megastar players – too many of them have underperformed this season!

Mirror Move 1 – The High Wave As you run forward, slow down a bit and wave your furthest foot over the ball – like you’re going to stop it with your sole. Instead, bring your foot back behind the ball – as if you’re dummying the opponent on the pitch. Then, push it forward with the laced part of your boot and put the burners on! Mirror Move 2 – The Step-On…
