Liverpool manager Arne Slotis up in front of the press pack early on, and he’s been talking about the failed deadline-day move for Marc Guéhi. “It would be ridiculous to deny we were close, that is out in the open,” Slot said.
“These things happen in football. We would have liked to sign him. It’s a pity for us and the player, but he is in a good place at Crystal Palace. Let’s see what the future brings for him and us … it’s not like we suddenly don’t have options in that position any more.”

A busy morning awaits, and there’s no better place to start than with our big weekend Premier League preview …

Preamble
The international break just gone was, relatively speaking, quite a lot of fun. That said, even with Norway hitting 11, Italy winning a nine-goal thriller, Suriname and Cape Verde heading towards the World Cup and – most shocking of all – England looking good, the Premier League’s unfinished business was never far from the headlines.
Since the last top-league fixtures were played in the heady final days of August, the table has remained frustratingly frozen three games in, but there are stacks of new signings from Alexander Isak to Gianluigi Donnarumma – and a new manager at Nottingham Forest in the shape of Ange Postecoglou.
He takes his new team to Arsenal tomorrow in what looks the weekend’s biggest game, save for a Sunday Manchester derby both teams would probably prefer to skip. Elsewhere, Everton v Aston Villa, West Ham v Spurs, Brentford v Chelsea and Burnley v Liverpool all offer chances for early-season form to be reinforced or flipped on its head.
It’s also back to work in the EFL and around Europe, and the Women’s Super League continues with West Ham v Arsenal and London City Lionesses v Manchester United among the more intriguing fixtures. Team news, buildup, previews and plenty more to come, so let’s put on our classics and we’ll have a little dance, shall we?
