Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend
This weekend in the Premier League promises a variety of talking points, from planned protests at Anfield to Roberto De Zerbi potentially beginning his tenure at Tottenham. Additionally, Everton are aiming for European qualification.
Nuno Espírito Santo has revitalized West Ham by reverting to a classic, attacking 4-4-2 formation. This shift aims to boost their offensive threat in the final third. January signings Pablo Felipe and Taty Castellanos have been instrumental in this change, though neither has been a prolific scorer. Castellanos has netted three goals across all competitions since his move from Lazio, while Pablo is still awaiting his first English league goal and missed a penalty in the recent FA Cup shootout loss to Leeds.
Despite individual scoring struggles, Castellanos and Pablo have proven an effective pairing. While their overall quality is debatable, their high work rate has injected much-needed energy into a previously sluggish West Ham side. Crucially, they create valuable space for wingers Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville, who is expected to return from a calf injury for Friday night's crucial home fixture against Wolves. Bowen and Summerville are West Ham's primary goal threats, and their effectiveness is amplified when Pablo and Castellanos are on the field together.
Key fixtures to watch include:
- West Ham v Wolves, Friday 8pm (all times BST)
- Arsenal v Bournemouth, Saturday 12:30pm
- Brentford v Everton, Saturday 3pm
- Burnley v Brighton, Saturday 3pm
- Liverpool v Fulham, Saturday 5:30pm
