Last weekend, the Premier League set the bar for fun at a very high level: Cole Palmer’s poker with Chelsea, Brentford’s goal before the first minute, Tottenham’s festival at Old Trafford, victory ‘in extremis’ for Arsenal…
Although it does not seem likely that such a high-quality spectacle will take place again so soon, the seventh date also promises excitement before the international break.
On Saturday (11:30 GMT), the leader Liverpool with its iron defense (two goals against in six games) is a clear favorite in its visit to Crystal Palace, a poorly ranked team despite having Jean-Philippe Mateta in attack, Eberechi Eze and Eddie Nketiah.
The Reds’ direct rivals will all play at home: Manchester City (2nd) against Fulham, and Arsenal (3rd) against Southampton, both on Saturday (2:00 p.m. GMT), and then Chelsea (4th) against Nottingham Forest, on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. GMT.
That day there will be two stellar matches: Manchester United, twelfth, which has just tied in Porto in the Europa League, will seek to redeem itself against Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, which this week defeated Bayern Munich in the Champions League (1:00 p.m. GMT), while Tottenham (8th) will try to stay ahead of Brighton (9th).
