London, Sep 27: Liverpool will face a familiar challenge on Saturday as they visit Crystal Palace, taking on Marc Guehi a defender they had sought to sign over the summer. Guehi will be tasked with containing Liverpool’s potent attack, featuring Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Mohamed Salah. Palace, unbeaten this season, stunned Liverpool in the Community Shield in August.
Brentford host Manchester United, who are without suspended midfielder Casemiro. Ruben Amorim’s side will look to build momentum after an inconsistent start.
Chelsea travel to Brighton, with former Seagulls striker Joao Pedro likely to start. Blues coach Enzo Maresca faces injury doubts with Liam Delap and Cole Palmer uncertain, while Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is suspended.
Manchester City aim to rebound from last weekend’s draw with Arsenal as Pep Guardiola adapts tactics for Burnley’s visit, relying on in-form Phil Foden and Erling Haaland. Bournemouth take on Leeds United, while Wolves visit third placed Tottenham, struggling after five successive losses.
Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest host Sunderland, Aston Villa aim for their first league win against Fulham, Arsenal visit Newcastle with possible returns for Saka and Odegaard, and West Ham’s coach Graham Potter faces pressure against Everton overseen by former manager David Moyes.
Fans can expect a weekend full of high stakes clashes across the Premier League.
