We’re back from an international break and it is about to get very busy for the Premier League’s big boys with continental action kicking off today.
There’s no direct matches between the big six (or is it seven now), but there are some fascinating matchups, including Manchester United and Brighton, plus West Ham hosting Manchester City.
We’re all set for a big weekend of football so feel free to join the discussion and share your thoughts on the various matches.
Liverpool have won 9 of their last 11 matches against Wolves in all competitions.
Liverpool are undefeated in their last 15 matches (Premier League).
Wolves have won just one of their last 11 meetings with Liverpool in all competitions.
15 goals have been scored in the last six meetings between these two sides.
Manchester United have lost their last three league games against Brighton & Hove Albion, including last season’s corresponding fixture, which was Erik ten Hag’s first match in charge. The Red Devils have scored just once in their four previous clashes with Brighton in all competitions, an own goal by Alexis Mac Allister in this fixture last year.
Manchester United have gone 31 games – spanning more than a year – without defeat at Old Trafford, winning 27 and drawing four in all competitions. The Red Devils are seeking their ninth consecutive league win at Old Trafford, which will be their longest run since a 12-match streak in 2012/13.
Brighton & Hove Albion are seeking successive Premier League away wins for the first time since a run of three between November and January last season.
Brighton can equal a club record of scoring in 16 successive away league matches, first set in League One between August 2009 and February 2010.
Bruno Fernandes has scored four and set up two of the last eight goals scored by Manchester United against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Pascal Gross has scored six Premier League goals against Manchester United, including both in the 2-1 win at Old Trafford last season
The Opta supercomputer predicts Manchester City will make it five wins from five Premier League games, assigning them a 59.5% chance of victory over West Ham.
West Ham have failed to win any of their last 15 Premier League games against Man City. Only against Manchester United (16 between 1993 and 2001) have they endured a longer winless run in the competition.
Erling Haaland’s record over the first four games of the Premier League season mirrors that from his first four outings of 2022-23. He scored a hat-trick on Matchday 5 last term.
BREAKING: Sofyan Amrabat will NOT be available to face Brighton!
Ten Hag: “Amrabat, he came back [from Morocco duty] unfortunately with the injury, so he will not be available for tomorrow [Saturday], but I think, on the short notice [soon], yes. And I’m sure we will all get joy from them.”
Lots of recent success in this fixture for Liverpool FC, but could we see another Wolverhampton Wanderers FC win at Molineux? 
Hee-Chan has given Wolves a 7th minute lead against Liverpool
They have scored five goals this season and Pedro Neto has set up FOUR of them 
Mohamed Salah has now provided more Premier League assists (62) than any other African player in the competition’s history, breaking Riyad Mahrez’s record.
The Egyptian King reigns supreme. 
Mohamed Salah has now been directly involved in 200 Premier League goals since joining Liverpool:
◎ 223 games
◉ 139 goals
◉ 61 assists
At least 31 more than any other player in that time.
Premier League players to have assisted in five successive away games:
Muzzey Izzet (2003)
Cesc Fabregas (2015)
Gerard Deulofeu (2015)
Mo Salah (2023) 
Much more than just a goalscorer.
Only two players have been directly involved in 200+ Premier League goals for Liverpool:
◎ Steven Gerrard
◉ Mohamed Salah
Legends.
Mohamed Salah is the first ever Liverpool player to assist in five consecutive Premier League away games:
vs. Leicester
vs. Southampton
vs. Chelsea
vs. Newcastle
vs. Wolves
King of the ̶K̶o̶p̶ road.
