Premier League: Hectic schedule shows no signs of slowing down

• Yerry Mina is a doubt for Everton and Conor Coady returns for Toffees.
• Bournemouth could have Callum Wilson available after suspension.
• Chelsea are likely to stick with a 4-3-3 formation.

This weekend’s Premier League schedule includes two games on Friday, six on Saturday, and two on New Year’s Day as part of the hectic Christmas and New Year matches.

Ivan Toney, the Brentford striker, must be contained when West Ham hosts Brentford on Friday night, while Liverpool hosts Leicester City at Anfield.

new signature As Liverpool seeks its fourth victory in as many league games, Cody Gakpo is still out of the lineup, and Brendan Rodgers, the former Liverpool manager who now manages Leicester, has stated that he plans to bolster his team in January, according to Xinhua.

Wolverhampton Wanderers host Manchester United in the opening match of the weekend. On Boxing Day, Wolves’ tenure under Julen Lopetegui got off to a winning start away at Everton. However, Manchester United will pose a more difficult task, even though United still appears to be lacking in attack with just Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial available.

The pressure on Everton manager Frank Lampard has intensified with the loss to Wolves, and it won’t lessen when his team visits Manchester City.

Everton will welcome back Conor Coady, but Yerry Mina is questionable due to a muscle injury. If City wins, they will trail league-leading Arsenal by just two points.

In Saturday’s late kickoff, Arsenal takes the field and travels nearby to face Brighton. Mikel Arteta will once again look to Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Eddie Nketiah to deliver against a foe that likewise prefers possession football because it has been stated that his team will struggle without Gabriel Jesus due to a knee injury.

Newcastle United has won seven and drawn one of their previous eight games, and Eddie Howe’s team may have Callum Wilson available when they host Leeds United.

Tyler Adams, a US international who competed valiantly for Leeds in their loss to Manchester City, will return from suspension, and attacker Patrick Bamford has a chance to recuperate in time.

At home against bottom-place Southampton, who haven’t yet displayed any signs of progress under new coach Nathan Jones, Fulham will be confident of continuing their outstanding season.

For Crystal Palace, Marc Guehi is back from suspension, but Patrick Vieira’s team will be without James Tomkins and Tyrick Mitchell as they travel to Bournemouth. This season, Palace has scored 15 goals while Bournemouth has given up 34 goals and has the poorest defence in the division.

On January 1st, Aston Villa will travel to Tottenham, where World Cup hero Emiliano Martinez might return to the starting lineup. Tottenham, who will once again be without Richarlison due to injury, should also see the return of his international teammate Cristian Romero.

With Christian Pulisic and Raheem Sterling on the flanks, Chelsea coach Graham Potter utilised a 4-3-3 system in his team’s victory over Bournemouth in the middle of the week and is likely to remain with it when his team visits Nottingham Forest.
