Arne Slot doesn’t have a tendency to originate many adjustments to his line-up and that’s the case again today.
Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez originate up the front three alongside Mo Salah.
Closing probability saloon for Martin?
By Harry Bamforth
Southampton are in desperate want of some parts.
Their return to the Premier League would possibly per chance well per chance no longer have gotten off to mighty worse of a delivery.
From nine games up to now, they have appropriate a single level.
In the event you would prefer to protect on this league, that you would be able to have to be putting up seriously better numbers than that.
The Saints’ disastrous has led to stress ramping up on Russell Martin.
I spoke to a Southampton fan the outdated day who told me he desires Martin to work it out, but issues will have to commerce soon if he doesn’t.
Today they play an Everton facet who are unbeaten in their closing five league games, after struggling one of these bad delivery to the season.
It is going to be another tough day to be a Southampton fan.
Salah to homicide the Seagulls?
By Harry Bamforth
Mo Salah fully loves playing Brighton.
I mean, I in actuality feel like I speak this about hi with each and every team he plays – he appropriate scores towards everybody.
In his 14 Premier League matches towards Brighton, Salah has been eager in 15 desires.
He has scored towards the Seagulls nine times in the league, together with three times closing season.
Salah has also registered six assists towards them -he is no longer appropriate a goalscorer, as you all know.
Will he add to that tally today?
Slot: ‘Customary to play same groups frequently’
By Harry Bamforth
Arne Slot, Liverpool boss, talking on Friday:
In soccer, we are damaged-down to playing the same team [again] after just a few days. Both groups didn’t delivery [on Wednesday] with the same team they will delivery with on Saturday. I contemplate with both managers it is a certain factor since you know a dinky bit more about the opponent.
The arrangement we crammed in the number nine attach turned into once fascinating because I believed it worked in actuality properly. In the cease I desire to play with an valid number nine but it’s no longer a risk if we have accidents. It turned into once stunning to rating three desires with out playing with an customary-customary number nine.
A foregone conclusion?
By Harry Bamforth
I bet Bournemouth fans need to now not totally enraged today?
Why, you interrogate?
Neatly, the Cherries are hosting champions Manchester City who’ve tortured them over the years.
If truth be told, Bournemouth have never beaten City in all of their 21 encounters in league and cup.
If that statistic is no longer immoral sufficient, City have obtained the closing 15 meetings between the two sides.
It is the definition of a one-sided affair.
Then again, data are there to be damaged, need to now not they? Bournemouth will likely be having a look to defy the odds today.
We now had been right here sooner than
By Harry Bamforth
It sounds like appropriate three days in the past that Liverpool and Brighton played each and every other closing.
Oh wait, that’s because they did.
For the 2d time in a week, the Reds attain battle with the Seagulls after beating them at the Amex in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
I wouldn’t dawdle off that fixture when predicting this one, even supposing. The groups are going to be thoroughly various today.
While Liverpool are favourites, Brighton have triggered them a great series of problems over the years.
The south hover facet grew to develop into somewhat of a bogey facet for Jurgen Klopp toward the cease of his time at the membership.
Then again, Arne Slot is one for one, up to now. Can he originate it two for two today?
It is space to be a cracker at Anfield.
What’s in store?
By Harry Bamforth
When I stated this menu turned into once tasty, I wasn’t lying.
We now have gotten 10 Premier League groups in action at 3pm this afternoon, which is no longer continually the case these days.
Let’s have a look at the billing on provide:
- Bournemouth vs Manchester City
- Ipswich vs Leicester
- Liverpool vs Brighton
- Nottingham Forest vs West Ham
- Southampton vs Everton
Big Saturday
By Harry Bamforth
It is been one hell of a week, hasn’t it?
It began with the sacking of Erik ten Hag at Manchester United and five days later his successor Ruben Amorim turned into once appointed.
It is no longer about United today, even supposing.
Both the Crimson Devils’ rivals are in action this afternoon as they battle it out at the top of the desk.
Table-toppers Manchester City jog down to the south hover to take on a Bournemouth facet who beat their title challengers, Arsenal, solely two weeks in the past.
Meanwhile, Liverpool face Brighton for the 2d time in a week, but this time at Anfield.
We also have three other matches for you to tuck your teeth into this afternoon – or no longer it’s a mouth-watering menu.
So, I contemplate shall we quiet delivery, manufacture no longer you?
