Zouma potential sale, big test at Liverpool and more: 7 big topics to follow this week

Liverpool game

Liverpool will welcome Chelsea to Anfield on Saturday. It's going to be a big game as both sides have recorded two victories in their opening matches, with the Reds beating Burnley last Saturday.

Opponents' fixtures

Our title race rivals Man City welcome Arsenal to the Etihad on Saturday while Man United travel to Wolves on Sunday.

Leicester pay a visit to West Ham today and face Norwich away on Saturday.

Chalobah new deal

The youngster impressed Tuchel and is expected to sign a new deal to keep him at the club for five more years.

Injury returns

Ziyech and Kante both came off the bench against Arsenal so they're expected to be fully fit for Liverpool.

Pulisic's availability would depend on the Covid-19 protocols. The winger himself said he has 'no symptoms' and is feeling absolutely fine.

Transfers in

Jules Kounde is the one to watch out for. Chelsea are likely to push for him if they manage to sell Zouma.

Transfers out

In terms of outgoings, Zappacosta will have his Atalanta medical on Tuesday and Ugbo will join Genk, both on permanent moves. Bakayoko is expected to join AC Milan on a season-long loan. Malang Sarr could head to Bologna on loan.

The biggest departure could be Kurt Zouma. Chelsea have agreed a £26m transfer with West Ham but the Frenchman's salary demands prove too high for the Hammers.

UCL group stage draw

Chelsea will learn their opponents in the Champions League group stage on Thursday, 26 August.

The Blues will be in Pot 1, thus avoiding other top seeds Villarreal, Man City, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Lille and Sporting Lisbon.
