BRIGHTON&HOVE ALBION – LIVERPOOL

Sunday 8 (3:00 p.m./DAZN)

Everything went wrong for Italian Zerbi’s Brighton during their visit to Villa Park. They were beaten by Aston Villa (6-1), a result that exposed the dangers of playing with so many risks in defense. ”It served as a lesson for us,” said the coach before facing Jurgen Klopp’s threatening Liverpool. Despite losing in stoppage time against Tottenham, the image of fighting to the limit with 9 players on the field spoke very well of the competitiveness of the ‘reds’, who regained their morale after beating St Gilloise in the Europa League ( 2-0). It’s a trained duel. De Zerbi beat Klopp twice last year, in Premier and FACup.

WEST HAM-NEWCASTLE

Sunday 8 (3:00 p.m./DAZN)

Two headers from Lucas Paquetá and Aguerd gave the Hammers a prestigious victory in Freiburg, in the Europa League (1-2), a result that made history because it extends their unbeaten record in European competitions to 17 games. the longest streak by an English team. It serves as a reference for the good emotional moment of the whole of East London. With Declan Rice sold to Arsenal, David Moyes has found a good balance in midfield after signing James Ward-Prowse and Edson Alvarez. Newcastle’s visit to the London Stadium will put him to the test. The ‘Magpies’ are also in a great moment, after the 4-1 they gave Paris Saint Germain.

ARSENAL-MANCHESTER CITY

Sunday 8 (5:30 p.m./DAZN)

Arsenal lost 2-1 to Lens in the Champions League and saw one of their leaders, Bukayo Saka, suffer from an injury, limping off. “The big teams punish you,” lamented Arteta, whose team hosts Manchester City this weekend, a duel that has now become a classic in the United Kingdom. After spending three and a half years as an assistant coach at City before arriving in London, Arteta hopes to achieve his first victory in the Premier League over Guardiola, his mentor. The champions, even without De Bruyne, have rediscovered good feelings in the Champions League, overcoming a very difficult match in Leipzig (1-3), with another demonstration of character. But Rodri will not be at the Emirates, sanctioned after his expulsion.
