Date published: Friday 3rd February 2023 7:38 -It’s a biggie for Everton, under new management but the same inept owners, against the best team in the country right now. We also get to see the new Chelsea in derby action, while Jurgen Klopp patches up Liverpool and Spurs hope Son Heung-min is back for good…hosts the Premier League’s slickest operation on Saturday lunchtime. It ought not to even be a contest. Even accounting for the fact Everton are under new management.
Whether Farhad Moshiri, Bill Kenwright and co show their faces, Everton fans will stage a sit-in protest at the final whistle. Assuming they get through the game first. Only Potter knows what he has planned for the west London derby with Fulham on Friday night, when Enzo Fernandez and Noni Madueke could make their Chelsea bows while Mykhaylo Mudryk is sure to be given a home debut. Given Chelsea’s predicament in mid-table and the need for a swift return on such investment, it’s not likely Potter will look to bed in the big signings gradually. Fernandez may be on the bench this weekend but he won’t be for long.
Between now and then, Liverpool have half a Premier League season and a Champions League last-16 clash to make the best of, starting at Wolves, where Klopp has to lift the players out of their terrible funk. Harry Kane has led the line almost singlehandedly, with those around him struggling for fitness, form or sometimes both. But Arnaut Danjuma was signed last week to bolster Antonio Conte’s squad and the new boy turned up just in time to seePerhaps Danjuma’s arrival prompted Son to pull his finger out. Maybe he’s finally free of injury and not quite as knackered as he so evidently was. Regardless, Spurs need to hope that their lost Son is back for good.
West Brom host Coventry on Friday night, while leaders Burnley host play-off hopefuls Norwich the following day. At the same time, also on the box, is a South Yorkshire derby between the Millers and Blades.
