Three Nigeria internationals face high-stakes Premier League battles this weekend as Frank Onyeka, Christantus Uche, and Tolu Arokodare go up against some of England’s biggest clubs.
At Selhurst Park, 22-year-old midfielder Christantus Uche will be hoping for his first league start when Crystal Palace host unbeaten Liverpool in a top-of-the-table clash. Palace, who boast the joint-best defensive record in the league with just two goals conceded, are aiming to extend their 11-match unbeaten run in the top flight. The Eagles defeated Liverpool on penalties to lift the Community Shield in August, adding spice to Saturday’s encounter.
Elsewhere, Frank Onyeka and Brentford welcome Manchester United to the Gtech Community Stadium. Both sides are desperate to climb the table, with United sitting 11th on seven points, while the Bees are three points behind in 17th place after five games under new head coach Keith Andrews.
Meanwhile, striker Tolu Arokodare and Wolverhampton Wanderers face a daunting trip to Tottenham Hotspur, as they seek to disrupt Spurs’ strong start to the season.
