Fans feeling festive in North London
With Christmas fast-approaching and a chill in the air, Arsenal fans are getting into the spirit.
They will be hoping to see their side demolish Everton this afternoon.
Saka was integral in the Champions League in midweek and everyone will be hoping he can take this form into today’s game.
Late kick-off promises much
Nottingham Forest welcome Aston Villa to the City Ground tonight.
Both teams are vying for European spots and Unai Emery’s side are coming off the back of a dreadful run without a win.
They can ill-afford another defeat this evening, while Forest will be looking at this as a six-pointer between a rival in the table.
Pressure building on Magpies’ manager
Eddie Howe needs a win more than ever this weekend.
The progression of Newcastle under their Saudi owners has not gone according to plan.
After losing heavily against Brentford in the capital, the fans are starting to lose patience with the stop/start form of the team.
View from SunSport’s Ken Lawrence on clash at Anfield
Arne Slot was obviously talking double Dutch when he declared in the build – up to the visit of Fulham that he doesn’t just judge Darwin Nunez on his goals.
Yet he has benched him anyway.
And the judgement on that decision has to be that the Liverpool boss DOES look at the Uruguayan’s record – three strikes in 19 appearances this season, 22 in 76 Prem appearances.
Diogo Jota joins him as a sub after eight weeks out with an abdominal injury and once he’s match – fit there is only one man who fits Slot’s eye as his No 1 striker, and that’s Jota.
Battle of the basement in Midlands
Wolves welcome Ipswich Town to Molineux this afternoon in a classic six-pointer.
Both teams have been struggling for form of late and have lost their last three games.
Whoever, if any, takes the win in this clash it could be a huge step towards getting away from the bottom three.
