With a matchup between the top two teams in the division and its top two strikers, the weekend schedule promises to be exciting, with all eyes on the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
The defending champions Manchester City are leading Liverpool by a solitary point and are looking to break the strange record of never having defeated the Merseysiders in back-to-back games since 1937.
The striker who broke the 50-goal mark in all competitions last season and is presently top of the Premier League scoring rankings as he attempts to win the Golden Boot will lead the drive to break the 86-year curse.
The Norwegian, who Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp referred to as the “best striker in the world” the previous season, has scored 13 goals in 12 games so far and will be hoping to add more as City attempts to continue their amazing run of winning their last 23 home games.
After scoring twice against Brentford prior to the international break, Mohamed Salah, an Egyptian, sits second on the scoring lists behind Haaland with ten goals.
“He must be among the best offensive players in the world,” stated Bees manager Thomas Frank in the aftermath. top three, not top ten.
Will son lift stumbling spurs!?
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host an exciting contest on Sunday between fifth-placed Spurs and sixth-place Aston Villa.
Ange Postecolglou became the first coach to win Premier League Manager of the Month three times in a row, and the North London team had a fantastic start to the season, going 10 games without a loss.
However, Spurs struggled heading into the international break due to losses to Chelsea and Wolves as well as player injuries and bans.
The captain and forward will be crucial to them getting back on course.Son Heung-min
The South Korean has now scored eight goals, trailing only Haaland and Salah in the scoring lists. During the interval, he also contributed three goals for his nation during two World Cup qualifying matches.
Son has no doubts about who is responsible for his current shape. Regarding Postecolglou, he noted on the Men in Blazers podcast, “It’s amazing.” “At thirty-one, I had learned a lot and thought I knew enough about life, but ever since he came along, I’ve realized how much of a child I still am.
His speech pattern makes my heart skip a beat. All I want to do is go out and play for the club and for him. He seems to be a member of my family.
Will Chelsea be set for another goals rush?
On Saturday, there should be a high chance of goals when Chelsea visits Newcastle United on Tyneside.
This season, the only teams with more goals than the Magpies are Manchester City (32) and Aston Villa (29), with Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak accounting for 13 of those.
Isak, however, should be able to play against the Blues after recovering from a groin injury. Wilson, along with about a dozen other players, will likely miss the game owing to injury, suspension, and, in the case of Lewis Hall, his inability to play against his parent club.
This will undoubtedly instill hope in a Chelsea team that has scored four goals against Manchester City and Spurs in their last two games.
Can everton channel rage into beating Man United?
When Everton plays its first game on Sunday at Goodison Park after receiving a 10-point deduction for violating Premier League financial regulations, fans should expect an intense atmosphere.
Protests of great magnitude are being organized, and the fans’ group ‘The 1878′ has gathered almost £40,000 to purchase new banners to be hung in the stands and cards to be held up by supporters during the match against Manchester United.
“Evertonians intend to battle beside and for our club. The group said in a statement that “protests will continue until a proportionate sanction is agreed upon.”
It is hoped that the players will be able to utilize all of the resentment from the crowd to defeat United for just the second time in the two teams’ nine meetings.
Everton had beaten Crystal Palace and collected 10 of a possible 15 points to pull themselves out of the relegation zone going into the international break.
Even though Burnley, the team at the bottom of the table, and them now share four points after the deduction, their recent play and the fact that their opponents are finding it extremely difficult to win indicate that they have the ability to go up the table once more.
When will Burnley end losing streak!?
Burnley, led by Vincent Kompany, is learning the hard way how difficult it is to close the gap between the Premier League and Championship.
With seven games remaining, the Clarets broke the 100-point mark and won the second-tier title in spectacular fashion the previous season.
However, as of Saturday’s match at Turf Moor against West Ham United, six of Burnley’s losses have come at home. Burnley has also lost six of their previous six games since the start of the new campaign.
Kompany maintains that he hasn’t given Everton’s current position at the bottom of the table any thought, saying, “It’s not been even one second on my mind.” It’s just my personality; I don’t pay attention to things that I can’t manage or that are outside of my power.
To be really honest, when it comes to outcomes, we are only able to look at ourselves. The goal is to maintain our strong performances.
