Everton need to sharpen their attack, Potts revitalizes West Ham’s sluggish midfield, and Liverpool face the formidable Haaland.
Premier League top scorers: the latest standings
The clock is ticking for Richarlison. With injuries sidelining Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani, the Brazilian was given a steady spot in Thomas Frank’s starting lineup but has only one goal since the season opener. Now that Kolo Muani is fit, the ex-Everton forward finds himself on the bench and didn’t impress against FC Copenhagen midweek, missing a penalty after Dane Scarlett earned it. The competition is intense, even for a Spurs team that managed just 0.1 xG in their loss to Chelsea—the lowest by any Premier League team this season. With the January transfer window approaching, speculation is rife around potential signings like Ivan Toney (who previously played under Frank at Brentford) and Dusan Vlahovic (whose contract with Juventus expires next summer). Tottenham are financially prepared for acquisitions, so Richarlison must capitalize on his playing time to secure his future at the club and stay in contention for Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad as the World Cup looms next summer.
