The most anticipated fixture in English football is upon us, as red-hot league leaders Liverpool welcome a struggling Manchester United to Anfield this weekend. For Ruben Amorim, the focus is damage control as he seeks to lift his team up the table—but earning a result against Arne's slot machine might just be an insurmountable challenge. Meanwhile, a revitalized Manchester City takes on West Ham, with Pep Guardiola aiming to restore the Cityzens to their formidable best. Second-placed Arsenal faces a tricky away clash against Brighton & Hove Albion, while Chelsea heads to Selhurst Park for a tough test against Crystal Palace. All this and more - including updates from ASEAN football - previewed on this week’s Just For Kicks!
