Everton need to sharpen their attack, Potts enhances West Ham’s sluggish midfield, and Liverpool face the formidable Haaland.
Time is ticking for Richarlison. With injuries sidelining Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani, the Brazilian had a steady spot in Thomas Frank’s lineup. However, with only one goal since the season opener, he hasn’t capitalized on the chances. Now, with Kolo Muani back, the ex-Everton forward is relegated to the bench and didn’t impress against FC Copenhagen midweek, missing a penalty earned by Dane Scarlett. The competition is tough, even for a Spurs team that posted a mere 0.1 xG in their loss to Chelsea—the lowest by any Premier League team this season—and transfer rumors are already swirling ahead of January. Both Ivan Toney (Frank’s former player at Brentford) and Dusan Vlahovic (with his Juventus contract expiring next summer) have been mentioned. Tottenham has funds to invest, so Richarlison must maximize his playing time to secure his club future and remain in the running for Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad, with the World Cup on the horizon next summer.
