5) Aron Gunnarsson

Captain of Iceland, Gunnarsson plays for the Welsh club Cardiff City and has been leading his country from the front at this Euro. His partnership with Sigurdsson has worked wonders for the nation and has led them throughout the qualifiers and now the group stages.
Gunnarsson has been the link between midfield and defence and has a great sense of positioning during play build-up. With him in a defensive role Sigurdsson has been granted the liberty to roam with the ball and feed the strikers. The outcome of this crucial encounter will depend on which team is able to dominate proceedings in midfield, hence, Gunnarsson has a huge role to play against a strong but demoralised Austria.
