Friday Forecast: Liverpool take on Spurs; TWO derbies on the way but no Clasico

Another weekend with several huge league clashes is coming as we bring you all you need to know ahead of it.

Liverpool vs Tottenham

Kick off: UTC 2019/10/27 16:30

Probable Lineups:

Liverpool news:

Alexander-Arnold and Matip both missed the trip to Genk in midweek, but Klopp will give the pair every opportunity to prove their fitness ahead of this clash.

Keita and Oxlade-Chamberlain both impressed in Belgium, though Klopp could revert to his tried and tested midfield trio.

Spurs news:

Tottenham's injury list has eased of late, with Lo Celso and Foyth both featuring in the 5-0 win over FK Crvena Zvezda on Tuesday night.

However, Pochettino is without Lloris, while Sessegnon is still some way from full fitness and isn't expected to be available until next month.

Pochettino could elect to use a 4-3-3 setup to counter Liverpool, with Ndombele and Sissoko flanking Winks in the middle of the park.

Prediction:

Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham

Man City vs Aston Villa

Kick off: UTC 2019/10/26 11:30

Probable Lineups:

Man City news:

Rodri suffered a hamstring injury in the midweek win over Atalanta and is ruled out, though Stones is back fit and should get the nod over Otamendi alongside Fernandinho.

Zinchenko has undergone knee surgery and is out for up to six weeks and will join the Spaniard on the sidelines, along with long-term absentees Sane and Laporte.

David and Bernardo Silva played no part in the Champions League clash on Tuesday so will likely start this one, with Foden one of those to drop to the bench.

Prediction:

Man City 3-1 Aston Villa

Lecce vs Juventus

Kick off: UTC 2019/10/26 13:00

Probable Lineups:

Juventus news:

Sarri is expected to make some changes to his starting XI.

Ramsey is facing an adductor injury and will not be part of the squad for this fixture, while Bentancur is expected to to start in midfield in place of Khedira.

Bernardeschi is expected to start in this fixture after coming on as a sub on Tuesday, while Ronaldo could also be rested in favour of a front two of Higuain and Dybala.

Prediction:

Lecce 0-3 Juventus

Burnley vs Chelsea

Kick off: UTC 2019/10/26 16:30

Probable Lineups:

Chelsea news:

Neither Kante nor Rudiger were considered fit enough to take part in Chelsea's 1-0 win over Ajax and remain out here.

Pulisic has made an important contribution off the bench in Chelsea's last two matches and could make his first league start for the club since the end of August.

Hudson-Odoi is still getting back into the swing of things since returning from a ruptured Achilles tendon and could make way for Pulisic here.

Emerson was back on the bench in midweek but Alonso has played well in recent games and the Brazilian is not guaranteed his starting spot back straight away.

Prediction:

Burnley 1 -2 Chelsea

Norwich City vs Man Utd

Kick off: UTC 2019/10/27 16:30

Probable Lineups:

Man Utd news:

Solskjaer has played a three-man defence in Man United's last two matches.

Rojo or Jones will take up the third spot in central defence if Tuanzebe fails to recover from an injury in time.

De Gea has been nursing a groin problem since the international break but is expected to resume his responsibilities in goal.

Neither Martial nor Lingard looked anywhere close to full match fitness in Belgrade in midweek and may drop to the bench.

United are expected to be without Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Luke Shaw against Norwich, though all three are closing in on first-team returns.

Prediction:

Norwich 2-1 Man Utd

Arsenal vs Crystal Palace

Kick off: UTC 2019/10/27 16:30

Probable Lineups:

Arsenal news:

Nelson is Arsenal's only injury concern as they come into the welcome of Crystal Palace.

Lacazette made his return from injury in the 3-2 UEL win, but Emery may resist the temptation to throw him back into the starting fold here.

Tierney could start at left-back, however, Bellerin, after such a lengthy absence, could drop out at the expense of Calum Chambers

Prediction:

Arsenal 3-2 Crystal Palace

PSG vs Marseille (Derby de France)

Kick off: UTC 2019/10/27 20:00

Probable Lineups:

PSG news:

Bernat is back from suspension and should come in for Layvin Kurzawa at left-back.

Icardi and Mbappé could start in a central two, with Pablo Sarabia in a creative midfield role.

Gueye is back in contention as well but may not be risked quite yet.

Prediction:

PSG 4-1 Marseille

Schalke vs Dortmund (Ruhr Derby)

Kick off: UTC 2019/10/26 13:30
