1. Warholm vs Samba - men's 400m hurdles
Karsten Warholm's incredible 2017 began with an astonishing victory in Oslo last season, and he will be hoping to delight his home fans once again a year later. The 400m hurdles promises to be one of the highlights of the meeting, as Warholm goes head to head with Abderrahman Samba, the man who currently leads the standings, and has twice broken the Diamond League record this season. The two men have already done battle in Rome, where Samba overtook Warholm on the final straight to take eight points in an incredible 47.48. Warholm's 47.82 was a new Norwegian record, and he will be hoping for a similar performance to beat Samba in Oslo.

2. Ibargüen faces Rypakova - women's triple jump
Caterine Ibargüen got her season off to a strong start with victory in Shanghai last month, as she looks to reclaim the Diamond Trophy she lost for the first time since 2012 last summer. The woman who finally ended Ibargüen's reign last year was Olga Rypakova, and the two triple jump stars will go head to head in Oslo. For Rypakova, it is the first step on the Road To The Final, and the first challenge in her bid to defend her title.

3. Chance for the chasing pack - men's 200m
Diamond Trophy holder Noah Lyles has made a strong start to his title defence, picking up victories in both Doha and Eugene to stake an early claim to a place in the Final. Oslo, though, will be an opportunity for the chasing pack to make up some ground on the American, with the second, third and fourth placed athletes all doing battle at Bislett. Jereem Richards, Aaron Brown and Ramil Guliyev are among the formidable field, and all of them have the opportunity to go top of the standings with a win.

4. Morris out to defend top spot - women's pole vault
The women's pole vault is shaping up to be a thrilling battle this year, as Sandi Morris and others look to dethrone Katerina Stefanidi, who has won the Diamond Trophy in both of the last two seasons. Morris currently leads the standings, and will be looking to defend her top spot in Oslo, while Stefanidi is targeting a first big points haul of the season, after struggling in Doha and Eugene. Though nobody would write off the World and Olympic Champion, Oslo is another chance for the likes of Morris to prove that they can topple the pole vault's Greek goddess this year.

5. Coburn looks to bounce back - women's 3000m steeplechase
Emma Coburn notched up a season's best in Rome, but it could have been so much more, had it not been for her dramatic fall at the last water jump. In Oslo, she has the chance to bounce back. The American once again faces Kenyan star Hyvin Kiyeng, and the presence of local hero Karoline Grøvdal promises to add an electric atmosphere to the women's steeplechase. Kiyeng leads the standings after her win in Rome, while Coburn will be hoping to climb up from fourth place with a strong finish in Oslo.
