Everton seeks more offensive effectiveness, Potts boosts West Ham’s sluggish midfield, and Liverpool encounters an in-form Haaland.
Richarlison is running out of chances. Injuries to Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani provided the Brazilian with a steady role in Thomas Frank’s lineup, yet he hasn’t capitalized on this opportunity, scoring just once since the season’s start. With Kolo Muani back in action, Richarlison has been relegated to the bench and failed to impress during the midweek game against FC Copenhagen, missing a penalty earned by Dane Scarlett. The competition is intense, even for a Spurs side that recorded a mere 0.1 xG in their loss to Chelsea—the lowest by any team this Premier League season—and rumors are already swirling ahead of the January transfer window. Ivan Toney, who played under Frank at Brentford, and Dusan Vlahovic, with a Juventus contract expiring next summer, are both linked with the club. Tottenham has financial resources available, so Richarlison needs to capitalize on his playing time to secure his future at the club and remain in contention for Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad ahead of next summer’s World Cup.
