London, Sep 26 (NationPress) Liverpool is set to encounter a challenging opponent in Crystal Palace this Saturday, facing Marc Guehi, a player they pursued during the summer transfer window.

Guehi could have significantly bolstered Liverpool's defense, but now he will find himself defending against Liverpool's fierce offense, which includes high-profile signings Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Hugo Ekitike, all eager to form a partnership with Mohamed Salah.

The Eagles pulled off a surprise against Liverpool in the season-opening Community Shield in early August and remain unbeaten so far this season.

The weekend kicks off with Brentford hosting Manchester United, with the home side struggling after losing key players and coach Thomas Frank over the summer, according to reports from Xinhua.

Manchester United will be without the suspended Casemiro due to a red card received during the match against Chelsea last week. This game presents an opportunity for Ruben Amorim’s team to gain momentum after a shaky start.

Chelsea will head to the south coast to confront Brighton, a club that has profited significantly from selling talented players to Stamford Bridge.

Concerns linger over Liam Delap and Cole Palmer for Chelsea, while goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is suspended following a red card last week. However, former Brighton striker Joao Pedro is expected to start against his former club as Chelsea looks to rebound from a defeat at Old Trafford.

Manchester City had their momentum interrupted by a late equalizer from Arsenal last weekend. Coach Pep Guardiola is anticipated to modify his strategies once more for the visit of Burnley, putting his defenders to the test against in-form players Phil Foden and Erling Haaland.

Bournemouth is heading to play Leeds United, with Andoni Iraola's team performing well and playing an intense style aimed at challenging a rival that recently secured a significant away victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Wolves find themselves at the bottom of the table following five consecutive losses. Victor Pereira, their boss who recently extended his contract, faces a daunting match against third-placed Tottenham, whose performance under Thomas Frank remains strong despite injury challenges.

Nottingham Forest showcased their abilities with a 2-2 draw against Betis in the Europa League on Wednesday. However, after four games in charge, coach Ange Postecoglou is still looking for his first league victory as they prepare to face Sunderland at the City Ground.

Aston Villa regained form in Europe midweek, and Unai Emery's squad is now seeking their first league win against Fulham.

Arsenal faces a challenging away match against Newcastle United, but they might have Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard returning to the lineup. Meanwhile, West Ham coach Graham Potter could be at risk of losing his position if they are defeated by Everton on Monday, a situation that won’t be overlooked by David Moyes, who previously parted ways with West Ham after guiding them to a ninth-place finish.
