EPL Headlines: Cole Palmer Ready for The Blues Return; Gueye's Failed Appeal Mystery

1. Star Talent Palmer Ready for High-Stakes London Clash with Arsenal

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca confirmed on the final weekday that Cole Palmer is set to return for the team's significant top-flight match against local opponents Arsenal.

The young England midfielder was out of action due to a fractured toe sustained after an accidental incident.

“He is available to start and to play,” Maresca declared. “Everyone is happy.”

This season, Palmer has featured in just four games in all tournaments, netting two goals.

After joining from Manchester City in the previous year, he has notched 45 scores and 29 helpers in 101 matches for the London club.

“He is our most valuable asset, we are delighted he is back, we need to allow him time to be completely ready,” Maresca continued. “He has done fantastic in the past and no doubt he is going to do very good for this club in the future.”

2. The Toffees Receive No Explanation for Rejected Idrissa Gueye Red Card Challenge

Everton were unsuccessful in their appeal against Idrissa Gueye's sending off for a physical confrontation with fellow player Michael Keane during the team's single-goal triumph at Old Trafford.

The veteran Senegal player was sent off just 13 minutes into the game after hitting Keane amid a dispute over a misplaced pass.

The player immediately apologized, and the pair appeared reconciled afterwards in a mock social media video.

However, the challenge against the dismissal was denied, and Gueye must serve a three-game ban, leaving Everton shorthanded for their next match against Newcastle United.

“We have appealed it and our appeal was turned down,” manager David Moyes revealed. “We received no rationale for the denial but we did appeal it.”

Inquired about more issues from the incident, Moyes continued: “It was over immediately, it was done, that was it, we progressed rapidly and it was all sorted within the dressing room.”

Third Story: Wissa Trains with Newcastle for Initial Session since Setback

Newcastle United's recent signing Yoane Wissa has practiced with his new teammates for the first time since sustaining a knee injury shortly after his move from Brentford in the autumn.

Head coach Eddie Howe confirmed the development on Friday but kept private a potential comeback timeline for the player.

The team brought in the striker for a significant fee to fill the void left by Alexander Isak, who moved to Liverpool for a British record transfer fee.

Regrettably, Wissa was injured while on national team service before he could play his first game for Newcastle.

“He is doing well, he trained with us for the first time on Wednesday, so I was very happy with how he looked,” Howe said. “That’s his first time competitively with the group. Let’s see how he reacts today.”

Howe added: “We’ve got [a return date] in mind, but it’s likely best if I keep that to myself. We wish to prevent any disappointment. Naturally, we want to utilize him as soon as possible.”

Additionally, the defender will be sidelined for a four-week period with a hamstring injury.

Fourth Story: The Reds' Slump ‘Doesn’t Matter’, Says West Ham Manager Nuno

The Hammers manager Nuno Espírito Santo has insisted that Liverpool' dip in performance “doesn’t really matter” as his side prepares to face the ailing Premier League champions.

The Liverpool manager's team has lost six of the last seven Premier League matches, falling out of the upper half of the standings.

Nevertheless, Nuno highlighted that there can be no room for overconfidence when the teams meet on the weekend at the their home ground.

“The Reds are a strong team and in football, what counts is what you do on the day,” Nuno commented. “We are preparing to play the title winners, players that are talented and able of doing great things, so we have to be ready.

“The history of the outcomes before, the form of the teams, is not that important. It is about the match day. Knowing that we are going to face a high-quality team, that has players capable of doing amazing feats, so we have to prepare thoroughly, to perform.”

The Hammers will have available Lucas Paquetá after his suspension, while Crysencio Summerville and Dinos Mavropanos are progressing in their recovery from fitness issues.

5. Morgan Gibbs-White in Contention for Nottingham Forest against Brighton

Nottingham Forest's manager Sean Dyche is hopeful that Morgan Gibbs-White will be available for the side's at home match against Brighton on Sunday.

The England player was absent for Thursday's Europa League game against Malmö due to a back injury.

“Fortunately, it seems to be calming down,” Dyche said as he got ready to face the Brighton manager's side, who have secured seven points from their past three outings.

“It’s similar to a sore back, but a morning sort of injury, one where you just rest awkwardly or move improperly. So we’re not anticipating, at this stage anyway, that it’s very severe and it’s settling down already. So we’re confident that it’ll be okay for the weekend.”

Murillo was experiencing discomfort in his hamstring after the comfortable European victory, but Dyche indicated the player “is expected to be okay”.

However, Ola Aina (thigh injury), the midfielder (thigh), the winger (hamstring), the striker (knee), and the defender (hip) are expected to be unavailable.

Sixth Story: Glasner: European Loss Won't Set Back Palace

The Eagles head coach Oliver Glasner feels that the setback of Thursday's European defeat to Strasbourg is a sign of how much progress the club has advanced in competing on two fronts.

The domestic cup holders took the lead at Stade de la Meinau through Tyrick Mitchell's first-half goal but were pegged back by Liam Rosenior's team, who climbed to second in the table.

The Eagles now return to Premier League action with a home fixture against the Red Devils, and Glasner is confident his side can keep up their push for a top four place.

“Comparable to the recent setback at Goodison Park, it just feels that it was totally avoidable and it is our fault,” Glasner said. “However, we have to accept it. The effort was there but it is a game we ought not to have lost.”

Glasner confirmed that Borna Sosa would not be available for Sunday's match after he did not travel to France, but Will Hughes, who was substituted during the opening period against the opponents, should be in the matchday squad.
