Despite positive results, Newcastle’s performances have been disappointing, with a lack of implementation of their previous successful high press style under Eddie Howe. Sandro Tonali, returning from suspension, should start to inject some energy into the team. Fabian Hürzeler’s dismissal against Nottingham Forest won’t hinder Brighton when they face Chelsea, with Danny Welbeck in fine form. Julen Lopetegui’s West Ham are struggling defensively, while Brentford aim to continue their impressive start against them. Everton’s future ownership change puts pressure on Sean Dyche, who faces Crystal Palace. Arsenal’s young talents, including Ethan Nwaneri, impressed in the EFL Cup and could be key against Leicester. Fulham, with Marco Silva’s strategy, aim for a European spot, while Wolves look to bounce back from consecutive losses against a strong Liverpool side. Aston Villa face Ipswich without key player John McGinn, and Manchester United and Tottenham meet in a battle of underperforming teams. Bournemouth, lacking a clinical forward, face tough fixtures after back-to-back defeats against Chelsea and Liverpool. With a history of patience with young talent, they hope Evanilson can fill the void left by Dominic Solanke’s departure.
