EPL Returns: Key Storylines to Watch This Weekend

The English Premier League (EPL) returns tomorrow, Saturday 23 November, with plenty of intriguing narratives as teams look to solidify their positions. From managerial debuts to players seeking redemption, this weekend’s action promises to be exciting.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is back at his former club Chelsea, and is looking to make a mark. The 26-year-old midfielder, integral to Leicester City’s promotion last season, struggled for regular starts under Enzo Maresca and this move could be his opportunity to gain more game time.

Brighton & Hove Albion will welcome Matt O’Riley back from an ankle injury, as is expected to start against Bournemouth. His midfield partnership with Carlos Baleba could provide the foundation for Brighton’s European ambitions.

On Sunday, 24 November, Ruben Amorim will take charge of Manchester United for the first time as they face Ipswich Town in the EPL. The 39-year-old Portuguese manager arrives with a glowing reputation after steering Sporting Lisbon to domestic and European success.

Known for his tactical prowess, Amorim’s 3-4-3 system could rejuvenate underperforming players and challenge United’s traditional style. With the club languishing in 14th place, he faces immediate pressure to deliver.

With plenty at stake across the league, fans can expect an enthralling weekend of football action.
