Team news/injuries

Liverpool have two major concerns for their upcoming clash with Tottenham and both are in defense, with Matip and Alexander-Arnold both being doubts. As for Spurs, they remain without Lloris who picked up a serious arm injury while Sessegnon still lacks match fitness.

As for Man City, they have now lost Rodrigo to a hamstring injury, with the summer signing expected to return next month. He joins Zinchenko and Laporte (both knee) on the sidelines. Man United are unlikely to have Dalot or Shaw back while Pogba and Bailly are out.

There is no injury boost for Chelsea, as Kante, Rudiger, Christensen, and Loftus-Cheek are yet to return. Arsenal, meanwhile, are without the services of only Reiss Nelson, with Lacazette making his first start in since September 1 in the Europa League win over Vitoria.

Key stats

Kasper Schmeichel, the Leicester goalkeeper and son of the iconic Peter Schmeichel, is one shutout away from 50 clean sheets with the Foxes.
Since the end of January, Liverpool have won all 11 of their home games in the Premier League with a goal difference of +28.
Tottenham, meanwhile, have won zero in the aforementioned timeframe, racking up a goal difference of -11.
Tammy Abraham remains the top away goa scorer in all of Europe’s big leagues with six goals, level with the deadly Robert Lewandowski.

What is social media saying ahead of Matchday 10?

Are we witnessing Unai Emery’s final days at Arsenal?

Arsenal head into their weekend clash with Crystal Palace on the back of a 3-2 Europa League win, fighting back from 2-1 down to win thanks to two spectacular free-kick goals from Pepe. While these results usually uplift the fan base, the supporters weren’t all too happy in the wake of this triumph.

This has become a norm this season. Most wins have been met with criticism, with fans losing faith in Unai Emery due to the club’s lack of identity, philosophy, and attacking flair on the pitch. Some are already calling for the Spaniard to be sacked after 10 games.

Ozil’s exile is another point of contention, as the German continues to be left out of the squad despite a clear lack of creativity. Emery launched a passionate defense after Thursday’s game but unless things turn around, calls for his head will pick up pace.
