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

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca announced on the final weekday that Cole Palmer is available for selection for the team's vital top-flight fixture against London opponents Arsenal.

The 23-year-old English midfielder was out of action due to a fractured toe sustained after an accidental occurrence.

“He is available to start and to play,” Maresca commented. “All involved are pleased.”

In the current campaign, Palmer has featured in just four games in all tournaments, netting two goals.

After joining from City in the previous year, he has achieved 45 scores and 29 helpers in 101 appearances for the London club.

“He is our best player, we are happy he is back, we need to give him time to be fully fit,” Maresca noted. “His past performances have been excellent and no doubt he is going to do great things for this club in the future.”

Second Story: Everton Get No Reason for Failed Idrissa Gueye Dismissal Challenge

The Merseyside club were unsuccessful in their appeal against Idrissa Gueye's sending off for a fight with teammate Michael Keane during the squad's narrow win at Manchester United.

The veteran Senegalese midfielder was sent off only early on into the match after slapping Keane during a argument over a poor pass.

The player quickly said sorry, and the pair were seen making up later in a mock social media video.

However, the challenge against the dismissal was turned down, and Gueye must serve a three-game suspension, making Everton shorthanded for their upcoming match against Newcastle.

“We lodged an appeal and it was unsuccessful,” coach the manager revealed. “No explanation was provided for the rejection but we did appeal it.”

When asked about more issues from the incident, Moyes continued: “It ended right away, it was done, that was it, we progressed quite quickly and it was all sorted within the dressing room.”

3. Wissa Practices with Newcastle for First Time since Injury

The club's new acquisition Yoane Wissa has practiced with his squad for the first time since sustaining a knee injury shortly after his arrival from his former club in September.

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

Newcastle brought in the forward for a significant fee to fill the void left by Alexander Isak, who moved to Liverpool for a record-breaking transfer fee.

Unfortunately, Wissa was injured while on international duty before he could play his first game for Newcastle.

“His recovery is going smoothly, he trained with us for the first time on Wednesday, so I was really pleased with how he looked,” Howe said. “It was his initial competitive session with the team. Let’s see how he responds today.”

The manager added: “We have a target return date, but it’s probably best if I keep that to myself. We wish to prevent any disappointment. Of course, we want to involve him as quickly.”

In other news, Kieran Trippier will be sidelined for a month with a hamstring injury.

Fourth Story: The Reds' Poor Form ‘Irrelevant’, Says West Ham Manager Nuno

The Hammers manager Nuno Espírito Santo has stated that the reigning champions' current slump “should not be a focus” as his side gets ready to take on the struggling Premier League champions.

The Liverpool manager's team has lost six of the last seven league matches, dropping out of the upper half of the table.

However, Nuno stressed that there can be no room for overconfidence when the teams clash on Sunday at the London Stadium.

“Liverpool are a quality side and in football, what matters is what you do on the day,” Nuno remarked. “We are preparing to play the title winners, players that are talented and able of doing good things, so we have to get ready.

“The past of the outcomes before, the form of the teams, is largely insignificant. It is about the day. Aware that we are going to face a high-quality team, that has players able of doing amazing feats, so we have to prepare thoroughly, to compete.”

The Hammers will have available Lucas Paquetá after his ban, while Crysencio Summerville and Dinos Mavropanos are stepping up their return from injury.

Fifth Story: Morgan Gibbs-White in Contention for Forest against The Seagulls

The club's manager Sean Dyche is hopeful that Morgan Gibbs-White will be ready for the side's home match against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.

The England player was absent for the midweek European match against the Swedish side due to a back injury.

“Fortunately, it seems to be calming down,” Dyche commented as he got ready to face Fabian Hürzeler's side, who have secured seven points from their past three matches.

“It’s similar to a sore back, but a morning sort of injury, one where you just rest awkwardly or twist funny. So we’re not anticipating, at this stage anyway, that it’s very severe and it’s settling down already. So we’re confident that it’ll be right for the weekend.”

The defender was experiencing discomfort in his hamstring muscle after the comfortable Europa League win, but Dyche indicated the player “is expected to be okay”.

However, Ola Aina (thigh injury), the midfielder (thigh), the winger (hamstring), the striker (knee), and Oleksandr Zinchenko (hip) are likely to miss out.

6. Oliver Glasner: Conference League Loss Won't Set Back Palace

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner feels that the setback of midweek's European defeat to the French side is a sign of how far the club has advanced in competing on two fronts.

The FA Cup holders went ahead at Stade de la Meinau through Tyrick Mitchell's first-half goal but were equalized against by Liam Rosenior's side, who climbed to runner-up in the table.

The Eagles now return to domestic competition with a at Selhurst Park match against the Red Devils, and Glasner is optimistic his side can keep up their push for a top four spot.

“Similar to the late loss against Everton, it just feels that it was entirely needless and it is our fault,” Glasner remarked. “Alternatively, we have to acknowledge it. The commitment was there but it is a game we ought not to have lost.”

Glasner confirmed that Borna Sosa would not be available for the weekend's match after he did not travel to France, but Will Hughes, who was substituted during the first half against the opponents, should be in the team selection.
