Here are the match previews for this weekend's Premier League fixtures:
1. **Everton vs Sunderland**
Andy Hunter writes: "Everton recall Harrison Armstrong from a successful loan spell with Preston on New Year's Day and are considering sending him back once their squad is restored to health by the return of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gueye. Or at least that is the plan for the continued development of the 18-year-old midfielder. David Moyes does not want to restrict Armstrong's game time but the visit of Sunderland offers the homegrown talent another opportunity to show the Everton manager he is equipped for the Premier League."
2. **Derby vs Leeds**
Louise Taylor writes: "Malick Thiaw has shone at the heart of Newcastle's defence since arriving from Milan last summer. On Wednesday night he came up against Dominic Calvert-Lewin at St James' Park and struggled horribly throughout the first 45 minutes. It was no surprise that Eddie Howe withdrew Thiaw at half-time but, with Fabian Schär and Dan Burn injured, the German is likely to start against Bournemouth."

4. **Liverpool vs Barnsley**
AH writes: "Arne Slot believes this can still be a special season for Liverpool – which is what almost everyone imagined it would be at the outset – with the FA Cup and Champions League offering diversions from a troubled title defence. 'There are so many times this club has shown when it didn't have the greatest form in the league that they were able to win another trophy,' he said this week."
Please note that the previews may not provide comprehensive information about each match, but rather give a brief summary of the teams' situations and potential storylines.

my lads are gonna smash it! arne slot saying liverpool can still win the title is giving me life 
, i know they've had a rough start but i trust jurgen and the squad. thiaw struggling against calvert-lewin tho 
eddie howe better get him back in shape for bournemouth lol 
. What if he can't cut it in the Premier League? The young lad needs some real game time, not just a few minutes off the bench every now and then.
. Eddie Howe's gonna keep rotating his defenders like they're going out of style, and it'll be anyone's game... yawn 
. Give me some actual drama and excitement any day!
. I mean, Arne Slot is saying they can still have a great season, but let's be real, that's a pretty optimistic view. We've seen it happen before when the team didn't have top form in the league and then they pulled off some epic comebacks. But this season seems different, they're really struggling with their squad injuries and team chemistry. I'm not buying into the 'they can still win trophies' narrative 
.
. Like, David Moyes is trying to figure out what to do with Harrison Armstrong, eh? The young guy's got some talent, but it's clear he needs more game time. I wonder if they'll send him back on loan or keep him in the squad full-time? Either way, should be an entertaining match! 
. That's fair I guess. Armstrong's only 18 so he needs some development time. Sunderland are a tough opponent though, maybe this will be a good test for the young lad. 
. Is it just injury cover or is there something more going on? Eddie Howe's got some decisions to make. 
. I can see why, they're not playing as well as they did last season. But Arne Slot believes in them - maybe he's right. They just need to find that consistency again. What's your take on this? Do you think Liverpool can still make a push for the league?
like didnt he just arrive from milan last summer?? 
their season has been kinda weird lately 
Also, this is gonna be an interesting one to see how Liverpool recovers from their current struggles - if they can pull it off, that'd be amazing! 
But for real tho, Arne Slot's comments about the team still being able to win a trophy got me hyped
