Chelsea take on Liverpool in the Premier League on Tuesday evening, just two days after Graham Potter was sacked at Stamford Bridge.

The former Brighton boss struggled throughout his tenure with the Blues and his fate was sealed by the 2-0 defeat against Aston Villa last weekend, with interim manager Bruno Saltor in charge for the visit of Liverpool tonight.

If the Spaniard wants to avoid following in the footsteps of his predecessor, then he must consider dropping Mykhailo Mudryk after the January signing produced another shocking performance against Unai Emery's side last time out.

Should Chelsea drop Mudryk vs Liverpool?

Mudryk was perhaps always going to be a risky signing for the Blues given he was untested in England and had made just 44 senior appearances for Shakhtar Donetsk, contributing 12 goals and 17 assists.

However, Todd Boehly still invested £88.5m to bring the 22-year-old to the Premier League and for that sort of money, you would expect the winger to have an instant impact and help fire Chelsea up the table.

The £97k-per-week winger made just eight appearances under Potter before his sacking late last week, in which he contributed no goals and just one assist, averaging a woeful 6.21 rating from WhoScored for his performances in the top flight, which ranks him as the 30th-best performer in Chelsea's squad.

Despite his poor start to life at Stamford Bridge, Potter opted to start the young winger against Villa but the Ukraine international arguably played a big part in his sacking, as he first failed to square the ball to Kai Havertz for a tap-in, before hitting a tame effort straight at Emiliano Martinez when through on goal.

Former Premier League striker Tony Cascarino was less than impressed with Mudryk's performance against Villa and criticised him on talkSPORT.

He said: "Ok he had a couple of chances and didn't take them. That happens. But since he's come, he's looked like he hasn't got a clue what is happening around him."

In the Champions League with Shakhtar earlier in the season, Mudryk was averaging 1.5 shots, 0.8 key passes and 1.7 dribbles per game but in the Premier League thus far he has mustered just 0.9 shots, 0.3 key passes and 0.3 dribbles per game, which emphasises that he hasn't lived up to his potential.

While a number of Boehly's signings have also flopped, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang completely ostracised under Potter, at least the Gabon striker had Premier League pedigree and didn't arrive for an eye-watering amount of money.

Aubameyang has at least found the net too, albeit on just three occasions, while averaging a fractionally better WhoScored match rating of 6.39. That is still woeful, but not quite as bad as Mudryk.

The early signs from the flanker are that Chelsea could be stuck with a player that isn't cut out for the Premier League until his contract expires in 2031, so if Bruno wants to get off to a good start at Stamford Bridge, he must drop the Ukrainian against Liverpool tonight.

Newcastle United will be seeking to continue their fine form today, but a daunting trip to a similarly high-flying Aston Villa stands between them and edging closer to a top-four finish.

This clash has somehow become one of the Premier League's most hotly contested when taking a view at the form table, as these sides occupy the second and fourth spots respectively.

Therefore, it will be all about who wants it more, who shows up on the day, and what tactical tweaks each boss employs to try and give their side the edge.

Eddie Howe has triumphantly led the Magpies from almost certain relegation last season to third place as of this game week, but Unai Emery has overseen a similar turnaround to take his side to sixth. The only issue that remains for the visitors is that, due to poor fortune and likely their relentless work ethic, some of their top players have fallen foul of injury.

The club's top scorer for the season Miguel Almiron remains sidelined, whilst Allan Saint-Maximin is also unlikely to feature due to a hamstring injury. Two key absentees out wide leave them very light on the ground in such a role, and could perhaps provoke the former Bournemouth boss into a formation shift.

This would not only allow him to get his two most in-form attackers starting in the same side, but match up with Emery's outfit, who also went for four across the midfield last time out.

What will Newcastle United's starting lineup be vs Aston Villa?

4-4-2 – (GK) Pope; (RB) Trippier, (CB) Botman, (CB) Schar, (LB) Burn; (RM) Gordon, (CM) Willock, (CM) Guimaraes, (LM) Joelinton: (ST) Wilson, (ST) Isak

We expect Howe to make just two changes from the side that snatched a 2-1 victory over Brentford last time out, opting for a 4-4-2 shape rather than their usual 4-3-3.

The back four will almost certainly remain unchanged given their familiarity and impressive form, with Nick Pope sitting behind Sven Botman and Fabian Schar. Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn will retain the width in the defence.

Across the midfield, Joelinton could add yet another position to his ever-growing list, as the versatile Brazilian might deputise in a deeper left midfield role. That allows Joe Willock and Bruno Guimaraes to retain their spots at the heart of midfield.

A surprise inclusion could be Anthony Gordon, as despite his tantrum after being substituted last game, the former Everton winger could prove imperative in spearheading counter-attacks. Having moved for £45m in January, perhaps the weight of the price tag is contributing to the struggles of the 22-year-old.

Despite being branded "disgraceful" by pundit Darren Ambrose for his actions, the wide man ranks in the top 3% when compared to others in his role across Europe for tackles per 90. His inclusion is a no-brainer.

That leaves a front two that picks itself, with Alexander Isak pairing the recalled Callum Wilson.

With the former having scored five in his last five, and the latter assisting from the bench last time out to claim his fourth goal contribution in three games, there are few strike partnerships as feared as this duo in the league at the moment.

They could well spearhead their side to further glory in what would be a massive result on the road.

Everton have been forced to offload plenty of their top stars in recent years, as their pursuit in waking the sleeping giant has continued to fail.

The Toffees have arguably regressed despite their initial model which saw them produce high-quality talent only to sell them on for huge profits, and now also find themselves in an all-out war for survival amidst their impending sanction for financial misconduct.

It draws the question as to how exactly the club got into such a mess, given the immense backing Farhad Moshiri had promised alongside these key sales.

Romelu Lukaku left for £75m in 2017, and John Stones had gone the year earlier for £47.5m; even Richarlison's £60m sale last summer has not kept them financially viable, exacerbating the woeful running of the club.

This is not a new development however, as exploits such as this can be traced back as far as 2004 when Manchester United snatched the crown jewel from the Merseyside club's academy: Wayne Rooney.

A £27m fee at the time was nothing to smirk at, but the glittering career that the Liverpool-born legend would go on to have with the Red Devils has always left a bad taste in the mouths of Evertonians.

It seems like this same misery is set to be repeated with the aforementioned Stones, who only goes from strength to strength in a Manchester City side that seeks to win it all every season.

What has John Stones won at Manchester City?

Having been at the club for approaching seven years, the England international unsurprisingly flourished under Pep Guardiola. Even during his time at Goodison Park, the defender's innate desire to play out from the back, often to his detriment, set him apart from the rest as a truly great modern centre-back in the making.

However, under the Spaniard is where he has truly exploded.

Their shared success has spurred on four Premier League titles, four EFL Cup victories and a sole FA Cup, whilst the Champions League continues to evade them. This is a competition they seem on course to challenge for again this year though, with Stones' new midfield role playing a key role in their blistering form that has encouraged nine straight wins in all competitions.

Journalist Lewis Steele had even branded the 6 foot 2 defender a "Rolls-Royce" for his quality in that new position.

For comparison, Rooney had only managed to win five league titles, four EFL Cups, one FA Cup and a Champions League; a tally the 28-year-old will seek to eclipse.

Should the former Barnsley ace do so, it would likely mark Everton's biggest transfer blunder since the sale of their academy superstar. Such immense success with accumulating silverware is something which Sean Dyche's outfit could only dream to achieve, but watching former players attain it after leaving often makes it even harder to swallow.

Ronald Koeman made plenty of errors during his spell in the Goodison Park dugout, but given how Stones' career has soared since leaving, few stacks up to this mistake. The near-£50m fee gathered barely scratches the surface of what he would be worth today.

Manchester City have been eyeing a move for Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni on the advice of manager Pep Guardiola, according to reports.

What's the latest on Bastoni to Man City?

Sky Blues centre-back Aymeric Laporte has been heavily linked with an exit this summer after falling down the pecking order so a replacement will be needed should he depart, and the 23-year-old is someone who’s been on the radar for quite a while.

The Italian’s contract at the San Siro Stadium is set to expire at the end of next season and he’s facing an uncertain future having not yet put pen to paper on a new deal, meaning that the upcoming window could be Simone Inzaghi’s side’s last chance to cash in.

La Gazzetta Dello Sport (via The Daily Mail) reported last year that the Premier League champions are long-term admirers of the Serie A team’s second top-performing defensive player, alongside top-flight rivals Tottenham Hotspur, and the boss is seemingly ready to pounce.

According to Calciomercato (via TEAMtalk), Guardiola has advised Man City to target Bastoni should he be made available for transfer ahead of the 2023/24 term. The Italian is apparently a player of interest at the Etihad on the back of their manager's recommendation.

Inter, however, hold a “growing confidence” that they will be able to keep hold of him as it’s claimed to be the £89k-p/w ace’s “priority” to extend his stay which would see him earn a significant pay rise.

Should Man City make an offer for Bastoni?

Bastoni has been dubbed a “phenomenon” by Serie A expert Conor Clancy and Man City should definitely consider tabling a bid in an attempt to entice him to join later in the summer.

The Puma-sponsored star is currently averaging 1.6 tackles and 1.5 clearances per league game, via WhoScored, so is fairly solid defensively, but he’s also proven that he can contribute when it comes to his team’s efforts at the opposite end of the pitch.

The left-footed tank has provided five assists across all competitions this season and ranks in the 99th percentile for four different statistics, including shot-creating actions, meaning he’s capable of creating chances from the heart of the backline.

Bastoni will already know what it takes to be successful having secured five senior trophies at both club and international level so will possess the winning mentality of Guardiola’s squad, making this a match made in transfer heaven.

Manchester United are believed to be interested in making a move for Fulham sensation, Joao Palhinha this summer, with manager Erik ten Hag seemingly keen to bolster his midfield ranks ahead of next season.

What's the latest on Palhinha to Man United?

According to The Sun, the Red Devils are said to be 'monitoring' the 27-year-old ahead of the upcoming window, with it looking as if the Carabao Cup winners will 'make their move' once the market re-opens.

The report suggests that the former Sporting CP ace – who only arrived at Craven Cottage on a £17m deal last summer – could fetch as much as £60m if he was to depart in the near future, with Marco Silva's side having already identified a potential replacement for the Portugal international in the form of Porto's Mateus Uribe.

It would appear that Palhinha has been something of a long-term target for those at the Theatre of Dreams, with reports early last year having suggested that United were keeping tabs on the 20-cap menace.

Would Palhinha be a good fit for Man United?

While the addition of the 6 foot 3 titan would arguably not be the playmaking, Frenkie de Jong-esque signing that Ten Hag may be craving, it would certainly add some further steel to a midfield department that has only recently been strengthened by the £70m addition of Casemiro from Real Madrid last summer.

To have the potential to partner the latter man alongside Palhinha on occasion is truly mouthwatering indeed, with the Old Trafford outfit set to have a simply menacing and destructive duo on their hands in front of the back four.

In the case of the Cottagers' rock, the £50k-per-week monster has arguably been "one of the signings of the season", according to Sky Sports reporter Jamie Weir, having been a real standout presence at the heart of the midfield in west London throughout the current campaign.

Hailed as being as "strong as an ox" by Weir, the towering brute currently ranks first in the division for tackles made (105) as a marker of his ball-winning prowess, memorably making nine tackles and winning 12 duels in total when taking on Ten Hag's men in the Premier League back in November.

That class was again evident when the two sides met again in the FA Cup prior to the international break, with Palhinha winning nine of his 13 total duels, while also showcasing his quality in possession after completing three of his four attempted dribbles.

To have such an all-rounder alongside Casemiro would certainly offer the top-four hopefuls real solidity, with the Brazil international – who has been hailed as the "cement" in the side by Ten Hag – also a ferocious presence in the centre of the park after averaging 3.1 tackles per game this season in the league, a record only slightly lower than that of Palhinha (four tackles per game).

That partnership would also potentially allow the current United man to offer more in a creative sense having thus far created five big chances and averaged 0.9 key passes per game, with Palhinha – who has created zero big chances and averages just 0.2 key passes per game – providing more of a defensive shield.

Whether or not the deal does come to pass, it would certainly be of intrigue to see Ten Hag put together a midfield pairing that few teams in the league would relish coming up against.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are thought to be keen on signing Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek this summer, 90min report.

What’s the latest Wolves transfer news involving Loftus-Cheek?

Julen Lopetegui appears to be guiding the club to safety after picking up three Premier League wins in the last four games.

Wolves are now just three points away from the magic 40-point tally, with club officials seemingly eyeing possible signings ahead of Lopetegui’s first full season in charge.

One player who seems to be of interest is Loftus-Cheek, who actually scored at Molineux back in 2018.

90min reporters Graeme Bailey and Tom Gott shared an update on Loftus-Cheek’s future in the last 48 hours. They claimed that Chelsea are open to offers for the midfielder, who is attracting interest from a number of Premier League clubs including Wolves, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Leicester, Newcastle and West Ham.

However, AC Milan are also interested and the player is thought to be intrigued by the idea of moving to the San Siro.

Should Wolves sign Loftus-Cheek?

Loftus-Cheek, hailed as a “dangerous” player by journalist Josh Bunting, will soon be entering the final 12 months of his £150,000-a-week Stamford Bridge contract.

The 27-year-old is primarily a central midfielder but can play in a holding role or on the right-hand side, showing that he could be a versatile option for Lopetegui.

He has now made 150 senior appearances for the Blues, with 28 of those coming this season in a range of midfield positions.

It has been a disappointing season on the whole for Chelsea, and as per WhoScored, Loftus-Cheek has averaged a match rating of 6.57/10. However, that score is actually better than a number of Wolves midfielders including Mario Lemina, Joao Moutinho, Pablo Sarabia and Boubacar Traore.

Therefore, for the right price, Loftus-Cheek could prove to be a shrewd signing at Molineux, and by the looks if it, it could be one to keep an eye on over the coming months.

West Ham United are ready to table a bid for Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, providing they avoid relegation from the Premier League, according to a report from Football Insider.

Do West Ham need to sign a new right-back?

West Ham may need to enter the market for a new right-back in the summer, given that they have not yet chosen to extend Vladimir Coufal's contract, which runs out in the summer, by an additional two years, despite having that option available.

Thilo Kehrer has slotted in at right-back nine times in the Premier League this season, however, he has failed to live up to expectations since arriving for an initial £10.1m from Paris Saint-Germain, ranked 25th in the squad for his average Sofascore rating.

Wan-Bissaka has been a long-term target for the Hammers, with a loan move being touted last summer, while he was also of interest in the January transfer window, and they could soon formalise their interest with an official offer.

According to a report from Football Insider, West Ham are monitoring the 25-year-old ahead of the summer, and are ready to table a bid if they avoid relegation to the Championship.

The defender has fallen down the pecking order behind Diogo Dalot at Man United, with the Red Devils also in the market for a new right-back in the summer, which means he could be shown the exit door.

The Irons are not the only Premier League team interested in signing the "monster" full-back, as former club Crystal Palace are also keeping tabs on the £90k-p/w ace.

Would Aaron Wan-Bissaka be a good signing for West Ham?

It seems a little unusual that Man United appear so willing to let him go, as the 25-year-old has impressed whenever he has been given the opportunity this season.

Most recently, the former Palace man received a 7.8 Sofascore rating, the second-highest of any United player, in a 2-0 victory against Everton, having made two tackles and won five ground duels.

The Croydon-born ace has recorded stellar defensive stats over the past year, ranking in the 89th percentile for interceptions per 90, and in the 85th for clearances, with both of these figures better than Coufal's in the same time period.

West Ham will undoubtedly need to strengthen at right-back this summer, and Wan-Bissaka would be an excellent addition to the squad, with proven Premier League experience, having made 143 appearances in the competition.
