"For many of the Premier League's leading players, this week has provided a much-needed opportunity to get some rest. The relentless football train has chugged on in the EFL Cup but with most of the big teams naming weakened sides, the likes of Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah and David Raya have been able to put their feet up. They will all be required - Salah more than ever - when the English top-flight resumes this weekend."
"Leeds' win over West Ham last Friday night felt particularly well-timed after a run of one point from three games. There's no doubt Daniel Farke's side will rely on their form at Elland Road to underpin their bid to stay in the Premier League but points on the road would also be particularly useful. Whether they can take any from the Amex remains to be seen against a Brighton side that still have yet to hit top gear this season."
Many leading Premier League players received rest during EFL Cup matches as big clubs fielded weakened sides, allowing stars like Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah and David Raya time off. Those players will be needed when league play resumes. Brighton remain inconsistent despite talent; they showed promise beating Newcastle but faltered at Manchester United, yet are predicted to beat Leeds 2-0. Leeds rely on form at Elland Road but struggle away. Fulham have lost four straight and face struggling Wolves, with Fulham favored 2-1. Wolves are winless amid fan unrest and managerial pressure.
