Sambata, 20 octombrie, incepe etapa a 9-a din Premier League, dupa o pauza internationala in care majoritatea vedetelor din campionatul Angliei au evoluat in UEFA Nations League. Runda incepe cu derby-ul dintre Chelsea si Manchester United, dar vom sta cu ochii si pe prestatiile lui Liverpool si Manchester City, care se dueleaza aprig pentru locul 1.
Liverpool are mari probleme de lot inainte de partida cu Huddersfield, pentru ca Salah, Van Dijk, Sane si Keita s-au accidentat in cursul saptamanii, iar Jurgen Klopp inca nu stie daca se va putea baza pe toate vedetele sale in weekend. Si Tottenham are probleme de lot semnificative, deoarece Alli, Eriksen, Vertonghen si Wanyama nu au fost recuperati 100%.
Bournemouth, Southampton si Wolverhampton sunt singurele formatii din Premier League care nu au probleme de lot. La Manchester City ar putea reveni Kevin De Bruyne, pe care Pep Guardiola vrea sa-l reintroduca in programul normal al echipei, odata cu meciul disputat impotriva lui Burnley. Everton are 3 jucatori accidentati si alti 7 fotbalisti incerti.
