\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

English football returns after the World Cup and the best teams will still have some absences due to player vacations, so we could see some surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal will have to welcome West Ham, who have not done very well this year, with the mission of securing top spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manchester City will have a difficult start when they visit Leeds United, a team that, although it is at the bottom of the table, always tends to complicate its rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newcastle will look to continue their upward curve when they visit Leicester, who dreams of playing in European competition next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brentford arrives motivated to face Tottenham who is still in Champions League positions, but that fourth place could be in danger if they do not win, with Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United crawling while they smell blood from Antonio Conte’s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal has given a big surprise this season and is close to reaching the first half of the tournament as the leader. The ‘Gunners’ have gone 8 games unbeaten with 7 victories in the Premier League<\/strong>, although they just lost a friendly with Juventus (2-0) a few days ago with two own goals. Most of the players who were at the World Cup are already training with the team, except for Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli<\/strong>, who is expected to be able to be there this Monday, and William Saliba, who was runner-up in the World Cup and may not be available.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Ham has a great team, but they haven’t shown it in the table.\u00a0With 3 losses in a row, they are in 16th place,<\/strong>\u00a0very close to the relegation places, with only 1 point more than Nottingham Forest.\u00a0World Cup players like Lucas Paquet\u00e1 and Declan Rice are expected to be available. As a visitor, they have only been able to obtain 4 points out of 21 possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t be fooled by the position on the table. Leeds United,\u00a0despite their 15th place, is a very complicated team.\u00a0<\/strong>They have had big wins against\u00a0Chelsea (3-0) and Liverpool (1-2)<\/strong>, so they know how to beat the Big 6 teams. Also, their games are always very close. Only in 3 of the 14 games, they have played in the Premier League<\/a> this season has there been a difference of more than 1 goal between the two teams.\u00a0What is an obligation for the team is to add points, because they are very close to the relegation zone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manchester City has already resumed official activity. This Thursday they beat Liverpool 3-2 for the EFL Cup with a goal from Erling Haaland, who is already fully recovered and ready to continue breaking records.<\/strong> The ‘Citizens’ are second in the tournament and Arsenal already has a 5-point lead on them, so they have to win so as not to lose track of the ‘Gunners’.<\/strong> The Argentine Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez, one of the figures of the world champion National Team, still has a few days of vacation and will probably not be there this Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a good moment for Leicester who has 4 victories in a row, counting the Premier League and EFL Cup, and who has already played again after the World Cup and easily beat MK Dons by 0-3. In the league they have 4 victories in their last 5 games, losing only against Manchester City (0-1),<\/strong> showing that the team is already on the mend after a very bad start that had them last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newcastle may be the fittest English team.\u00a0They are 12 games unbeaten and have already managed to reach third place in the Premier League, just 2 points behind Manchester City. Paraguayan Miguel Almir\u00f3n is one of the stars of the team and this Tuesday they faced Bournemouth (1-0) for the EFL Cup.<\/strong>\u00a0All the players who were in the World Cup are already at the coach’s disposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brentford is daydreaming.\u00a0In their second season in the Premier League, they are giving people talk after their victories against Manchester City (1-2) and Manchester United (4-0), as well as drawing versus Chelsea (0-0). Ivan Toney is the team’s top scorer with 10 goals and was very close to going to the World Cup.\u00a0<\/strong>However, not everything is chant and wine in the “Bees'” dressing room, as the center forward is under investigation for illegal betting.<\/a> Now we have to see how they come back after 3 friendly matches where they didn’t do well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For their part, Tottenham has not been doing so well lately, they have even lost third place and are very close to Manchester United, so if they do not win this Monday, they could lose their place in the Champions League.<\/strong> The team’s goalscorer, Harry Kane (12),<\/strong> already returned to training after the World Cup, where he missed the penalty that could keep England alive, so we have to see how he returns mentally after that mistake that cost the elimination of his country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
