Arsenal v Wolves: The final Premier League<\/a> match of the day sees first meets worst as the league leaders host bottom of the table at the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta has insisted Gabriel Jesus will not be sold and can be his first-choice No 9 after Jesus made his injury comeback as a second-half substitute in the 3-0 win against Club Brugge on Wednesday following 11 months away.<\/p>\n The Brazil international, 28, brings an extra dimension to Arteta\u2019s frontline but he has just 18 months to run on his contract.<\/p>\n After splashing out \u00a364m on Viktor Gyokeres and with Kai Havertz, albeit sidelined with a knee injury, another striking option, Arsenal could have been tempted to cash in on Jesus before his deal expires but Arteta denied those discussions were taking place at the club.<\/p>\n No, I don\u2019t consider that [selling him], especially with the situation that we have right now.<\/p>\n Gabriel has a lot to offer to the team and he\u2019s proven that straight away in the first minute that he was available to play. He\u2019s put so much to be in this position again and now the focus is to be with us.<\/p>\n Arteta was without eight players for their midweek Champions League clash. The Spaniard would not comment on whether any of Declan Rice, who missed out on the trip to Belgium through illness, and some of the other shorter-term absentees such as William Saliba, Leandro Trossard and Jurri\u00ebn Timber would be available to face Wolves.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Burnley v Fulham: Marco Silva has challenged Fulham to end their long wait for a win at Burnley; the last time Fulham triumphed at the Clarets was back in 1951 and they have only won once during the last nine meetings between the clubs.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been trying and learning all the moments and all the challenges, but every single week that we play, the numbers are not amazing for us, but we have been breaking so many of those numbers as well, it\u2019s been incredible.<\/p>\n I love this type of challenge. I love it, because if the club didn\u2019t achieve it in the past, there is a reason and right now, we can change the story. Simple as that.<\/p>\n The numbers are there and they are there for a reason, but they are there to be broken as well. PA Media<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Burnley v Fulham: Scott Parker has called on Burnley\u2019s fans to maintain their \u201ccrucial\u201d role in the club\u2019s fight against Premier League<\/a> relegation.<\/p>\n His side sit second from bottom in the table after winning just three of their first 15 matches and will aim to halt a six-game losing run today at Turf Moor against one of Parker\u2019s former clubs Fulham.<\/p>\n They\u2019re massive for us, to be honest. The fans are crucial and they have been crucial for us. I understand there\u2019s a hard-working fanbase that pays hard-earned money to come to support this team and are fundamentally desperate for a result. And we\u2019re equally as desperate.<\/p>\n We need their full backing. We need their full support. We need them right behind this young group, through thick and thin. We need to make Turf Moor a really difficult place to come and I\u2019m hoping that will be the case at the weekend.<\/p>\n Kyle Walker is one of three Burnley players who will miss out through suspension \u2013 Hannibal Mejbri and Lucas Pires are also banned \u2013 and Parker said the England defender\u2019s absence will be sorely felt.<\/p>\n It will always leave a big gap no matter what team Kyle Walker is playing in. There\u2019s always going to be a gap there because of his quality, his experience \u2013 his understanding of certain situations.<\/p>\n So of course, he\u2019s going to be a miss for us at the weekend. It gives another person an opportunity as well, but a player of Kyle\u2019s ability and what he brings will be a big miss for us. PA Media<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Chelsea v Everton: David Moyes has admitted James Tarkowski needs to tread more carefully with video assistant referees after barging into Dan Ndoye during Everton\u2019s 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n Forest have made a formal complaint to PGMO after Tarkowski escaped punishment for knocking down Ndoye in the 11th minute last Saturday. Sean Dyche said he was \u201camazed\u201d his former captain at Everton and Burnley was not shown a card of any description.<\/p>\n The referee, Chris Kavanagh, did not see the incident on-field while the VAR, James Bell, could not intervene in what might have been considered a yellow card offence.<\/p>\n Four wins out of five have moved Everton to within a point of Chelsea and a rare victory today \u2013 they have not won at Stamford Bridge since 1994 \u2013 would lift them into fourth place overnight.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Chelsea v Everton: Enzo Maresca has said Cole Palmer remains troubled by a groin problem and is still unable to play three games a week, raising fresh doubt over whether the Chelsea attacker will force his way into England\u2019s World Cup squad.<\/p>\n It\u2019s something that is a little bit day by day. You can see if he\u2019s getting better, some days it can be worse. For instance after Leeds, he was completely bad the day after. And he played half an hour. After Bournemouth, he was OK. He played one hour. There\u2019s not any sense [to it]. It\u2019s day by day that decides how he feels.<\/p>\n Palmer\u2019s struggles has allowed Jude Bellingham, Eberechi Eze, Phil Foden and Morgan Rogers to move in front of him in the fight to earn a spot in attacking midfield for England.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Have any thoughts on Salah? Do his comments post-Leeds harm his legacy? Has his time on Merseyside come to an end? Do you have an opinion on the situation that somehow, miraculously has not been said yet? Sound off in the comments below the line or send us an email<\/a>.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Liverpool v Brighton: The reaction from Salah\u2019s comments in the UK and in his home country could not be on two further ends of the spectrum.<\/p>\n The true measure of Salah\u2019s cultural weight became clear in the breadth of national conversation, as talk around his interview spilled beyond the confines of football punditry. One of Egypt\u2019s most known news presenters, Amr Adib, whose loud, brash political and economic opinions often go viral for all the wrong reasons, staunchly came to Salah\u2019s defence. Political commentators dissected Salah\u2019s words through the lens of negotiation tactics. Even YouTube film critics and foodie TikTokers felt compelled to offer their analysis. \u201cIt feels as if every public voice has an opinion to air,\u201d says the president of one of Liverpool\u2019s oldest fanclubs in Egypt, Ahmed Fahmy. \u201cThe dramatics of it all proves that a crisis involving Salah is a crisis for the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n What Egypt thinks of the Salah saga and their choice words aimed at Jamie Carragher below (in what I must warn you feels like a shameless self plug).<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Liverpool v Brighton: It is unclear whether Salah will start, come off the bench or even make an appearance at all. And how will supporters react if he does make it on to the pitch?<\/p>\n Here are five Liverpool fans\u2019 thoughts on the saga that may help gauge how the Anfield faithful react.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n The biggest story of the week was Mohamed Salah\u2019s comments after Liverpool\u2019s 3-3 draw at Leeds and the subsequent fallout. Yesterday it was confirmed he would be back in the squad to face Brighton after he had been omitted from Tuesday\u2019s Champions League win at Inter.<\/p>\n The Egyptian will depart for the Africa Cup of Nations on Monday.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Preamble<\/p>\n Hello, football.
