Story summary

Bradley Barcola, Liverpool's £123 million signing from Paris Saint-Germain, made his first start for the club in a Champions League match against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. Despite scoring two goals, he had to be substituted after 60 minutes due to cramp rather than injury. Manager Andoni Iraola confirmed Barcola could play in Liverpool's upcoming Premier League match against Fulham if there are no further issues. Meanwhile, Cody Gakpo, who has a goal contribution in every Premier League game this season, missed the Atletico Madrid match due to an adductor issue but is on the bench for Fulham with his availability uncertain. The team news for the Fulham clash sees Barcola starting alongside other new signings like Victor Munoz and Milos Kerkez, who also dealt with cramp during the recent Champions League tie.

🔮 Buoyed by only a second triumph at Chelsea in 36 years last weekend, Spurs’ task was made more routine by a 13th-minute red card for Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta for a studs-up tackle on Micky van de Ven. VAR intervened to assist referee Michael Oliver and it was largely one-way traffic after with Archie Gray able to open the scoring with a header after 25 minutes. Roberto De Zerbi’s team started the second half impressively and eventually doubled their lead with 17 minutes left through former Brighton centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke. It allowed De Zerbi to hand a league debut to Spurs’ teenager Luca Williams-Barnett on an enjoyable night for the north London club, but this latest defeat will increase the scrutiny on under-fire Palace boss Pierre Sage.
