English Premier League Headlines: Cole Palmer Ready for The Blues Comeback; Gueye's Failed Red Card Appeal Mystery

First Story: Top Player Palmer Fit for High-Stakes Capital Clash with The Gunners

The Blues head coach Enzo Maresca confirmed on the final weekday that Cole Palmer is set to return for the team's important top-flight encounter against local rivals Arsenal.

The 23-year-old England international was out of action due to a fractured toe incurred after an unfortunate occurrence.

“He is ready to start and participate,” Maresca said. “Everyone is happy.”

This season, Palmer has featured in just four games in all tournaments, finding the net on two occasions.

Since his arrival from Manchester City in the previous year, he has recorded 45 strikes and 29 setups in 101 appearances for Chelsea.

“He is our most valuable asset, we are happy he is back, we need to give him time to be completely ready,” Maresca continued. “He has been brilliant historically and no doubt he is going to do great things for this club in the future.”

Second Story: The Toffees Receive No Explanation for Rejected Gueye Dismissal Challenge

The Merseyside club were unsuccessful in their challenge against Idrissa Gueye's red card for a fight with teammate Michael Keane during the squad's narrow win at Manchester United.

The 36-year-old Senegalese midfielder was shown a red card only 13 minutes into the game after hitting Keane during a disagreement over a misplaced pass.

Gueye quickly said sorry, and the pair were seen making up afterwards in a mock social media post.

However, the challenge against the red card was turned down, and Gueye must complete a three-game suspension, making Everton depleted for their upcoming fixture against Newcastle.

“We have appealed it and our appeal was turned down,” manager David Moyes revealed. “We haven’t been given any reason why it was turned down but we did appeal it.”

When asked about more issues from the event, Moyes continued: “It ended right away, it was done, that was it, we moved on quite quickly and it was all sorted within the dressing room.”

Third Story: Wissa Practices with The Magpies for Initial Session since Setback

Newcastle United's recent signing Yoane Wissa has trained with his new teammates for the initial occasion since suffering a knee problem soon after his arrival from his former club in the autumn.

Manager Eddie Howe announced the news on Friday but kept private a possible comeback timeline for the 29-year-old.

The team brought in the striker for a significant fee to replace Alexander Isak, who joined Liverpool for a record-breaking transfer fee.

Regrettably, Wissa was injured while on national team service before he could make his debut for his new club.

“He is progressing nicely, he trained with us for the first time on Wednesday, so I was very happy with how he looked,” Howe stated. “That’s his first time competitively with the group. Let’s see how he responds today.”

Howe added: “We’ve got [a return date] in mind, but it’s likely best if I withhold that information. We aim to avoid letting people down. Naturally, we want to include him as promptly.”

In other news, the defender will be out of action for a four-week period with a hamstring injury.

Fourth Story: The Reds' Poor Form ‘Irrelevant’, Insists Hammers Manager Nuno

West Ham United head coach Nuno Espírito Santo has insisted that Liverpool' recent poor form “should not be a focus” as his side prepares to take on the struggling Premier League title holders.

The Liverpool manager's side has lost six of the last seven league games, dropping out of the top 10 of the table.

However, Nuno stressed that there can be no taking it easy when the teams meet on Sunday at the London Stadium.

“The Reds are a strong team and in football, what counts is what you do on the day,” Nuno remarked. “We are preparing to play the title winners, players that are skilled and able of doing good things, so we have to be ready.

“The past of the results before, the form of the teams, is largely insignificant. It is about the day. Aware that we are going to face a excellent team, that has players capable of doing amazing feats, so we have to get ready, to challenge.”

West Ham will have available Lucas Paquetá after his ban, while Crysencio Summerville and Dinos Mavropanos are progressing in their return from fitness issues.

5. Gibbs-White in Contention for Nottingham Forest against The Seagulls

The club's boss Sean Dyche is optimistic that Morgan Gibbs-White will be available for the team's home fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.

The England player missed the midweek Europa League match against Malmö due to a back issue.

“Fortunately, it seems to be calming down,” Dyche stated as he got ready to face Fabian Hürzeler's team, who have taken a decent haul from their past three outings.

“It’s comparable to back pain, but a morning sort of injury, one where you just rest awkwardly or move improperly. So we’re not expecting, at this point anyway, that it’s too serious and it’s improving already. So we’re confident that it’ll be fine for the weekend.”

The defender was feeling his hamstring after the comfortable European win, but Dyche indicated the player “is expected to be okay”.

Meanwhile, the full-back (thigh injury), the midfielder (thigh), the winger (hamstring), Chris Wood (knee), and the defender (hip) are expected to miss out.

Sixth Story: Glasner: European Defeat Won't Hinder Palace

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner believes that the disappointment of Thursday's Conference League loss to Strasbourg is a indication of how far the club has come in challenging on two fronts.

The FA Cup holders went ahead at Stade de la Meinau through Tyrick Mitchell's opening period goal but were pegged back by Liam Rosenior's side, who moved up to runner-up in the group standings.

Crystal Palace now switch focus to Premier League competition with a home fixture against the Red Devils, and Glasner is confident his team can keep up their push for a top four place.

“Similar to the late loss against Everton, it just feels that it was completely unnecessary and it is our fault,” Glasner commented. “However, we have to take it on the chin. The effort was there but it is a game we ought not to have lost.”

Glasner stated that Borna Sosa would miss out for the weekend's game after he stayed behind to France, but Will Hughes, who was substituted during the opening period against Strasbourg, is expected to be in the team selection.
