1. Key Player Palmer Fit for Important London Derby with Arsenal

The Blues head coach Enzo Maresca announced on Friday that Cole Palmer is available for selection for the squad's vital top-flight encounter against local rivals Arsenal.

The 23-year-old English midfielder was unavailable due to a broken toe suffered after an unfortunate incident.

“He is ready to start and participate,” Maresca said. “The whole team is delighted.”

This season, Palmer has been limited to four outings in all tournaments, finding the net on two occasions.

Following his transfer from Manchester City in the previous year, he has recorded 45 goals and 29 assists in 101 matches for Chelsea.

“He is our most valuable asset, we are happy he is back, we need to allow him time to be fully fit,” Maresca noted. “He has done fantastic in the past and no doubt he is going to do very good for this club in the future.”

2. The Toffees Get No Reason for Rejected Idrissa Gueye Red Card Challenge

The Merseyside club have failed in their protest against Idrissa Gueye's dismissal for an on-field altercation with fellow player Michael Keane during the team's single-goal triumph at Manchester United.

The veteran Senegal midfielder was dismissed just 13 minutes into the game after striking Keane amid a disagreement over a misplaced pass.

Gueye immediately apologized, and the pair were seen making up afterwards in a mock social media post.

However, the appeal against the red card was rejected, and Gueye must complete a three-match suspension, making Everton shorthanded for their upcoming match against Newcastle United.

“We challenged the decision and it was rejected,” coach the manager stated. “No explanation was provided for the rejection but we did appeal it.”

Inquired about additional consequences from the incident, Moyes added: “It ended right away, it was done, that was it, we moved on rapidly and it was all sorted within the dressing room.”

Third Story: Yoane Wissa Practices with Newcastle for Initial Session since Injury

The club's new acquisition Yoane Wissa has trained with his new teammates for the initial occasion since sustaining a knee injury soon after his arrival from his former club in September.

Head coach Eddie Howe announced the development on the end of the week but kept private a possible return date for the 29-year-old.

The team signed the striker for a significant fee to replace Alexander Isak, who joined Liverpool for a record-breaking sum.

Unfortunately, Wissa was hurt while on international service before he could make his debut for his new club.

“His recovery is going smoothly, he trained with us for the first time on midweek, so I was very happy with how he looked,” Howe stated. “This marked his debut in a competitive setting with the squad. Let’s see how he responds today.”

The manager continued: “There is a planned comeback timeline, but it’s likely best if I withhold that information. We don’t want to disappoint anyone. Of course, we want to include him as soon as possible.”

Additionally, the defender will be out of action for a month with a hamstring issue.

Fourth Story: The Reds' Slump ‘Doesn’t Matter’, Insists West Ham Manager Nuno

The Hammers manager Nuno Espírito Santo has claimed that Liverpool' current slump “is largely irrelevant” as his side prepares to face the ailing top-flight champions.

The Liverpool manager's side has suffered six losses in seven recent Premier League games, falling out of the top 10 of the standings.

Nevertheless, Nuno highlighted that there can be no complacency when the sides meet on the weekend at the their home ground.

“Liverpool is a good team and in football, what counts is what you do on the day,” Nuno said. “We anticipate facing the league champions, players that are skilled and able of doing good things, so we have to prepare.

“The history of the outcomes before, the performance of the teams, is largely insignificant. It is about the day. Knowing that we are going to face a high-quality team, that has players capable of doing wonderful things, so we have to prepare thoroughly, to compete.”

West Ham will have available Lucas Paquetá after his ban, while Crysencio Summerville and Dinos Mavropanos are stepping up their recovery from fitness issues.

Fifth Story: Gibbs-White Could Feature for Nottingham Forest against The Seagulls

The club's manager Sean Dyche is optimistic that Morgan Gibbs-White will be fit for the side's home fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion on the weekend.

The English international missed Thursday's Europa League game against Malmö due to a back issue.

“Fortunately, it seems to be calming down,” Dyche stated as he got ready to face the Brighton manager's side, who have secured seven points from their last three matches.

“It’s similar to a sore back, but a waking-up sort of injury, one where you just rest awkwardly or move improperly. So we’re not expecting, at this point anyway, that it’s very severe and it’s settling down already. So we’re hopeful that it’ll be fine for the weekend.”

The defender was feeling his hamstring after the 3-0 Europa League win, but Dyche said the player “will likely be available”.

However, Ola Aina (thigh injury), Douglas Luiz (thigh), the winger (hamstring), Chris Wood (knee), and Oleksandr Zinchenko (hip) are likely to miss out.

Sixth Story: Glasner: Conference League Defeat Won't Hinder Crystal Palace

The Eagles head coach Oliver Glasner believes that the setback of midweek's Conference League defeat to Strasbourg is a indication of how much progress the team has come in challenging on multiple fronts.

The FA Cup winners took the lead at Stade de la Meinau through Tyrick Mitchell's opening period goal but were equalized against by the opposition manager's team, who climbed to runner-up in the table.

Crystal Palace now switch focus to domestic action with a home fixture against the Red Devils, and Glasner is confident his side can keep up their challenge for a top four place.

“Similar to the late loss against Everton, it just feels that it was entirely needless and it is our fault,” Glasner commented. “On the other side, we have to acknowledge it. The commitment was there but it is a game we could have avoided losing.”

Glasner stated that Borna Sosa would be absent for Sunday's game after he did not travel to Strasbourg, but Will Hughes, who was substituted during the opening period against Strasbourg, should be in the team selection.
