Weston McKennie en Juventus gaan dit weekend een lastige Serie A-toets tegemoet, terwijl de strijd aan de top steeds grimmiger wordt. Christian Pulisic en AC Milan hebben weinig speelruimte voor fouten in hun poging de aansluiting bij de Champions League-plaatsen te behouden.<\/p>\n

McKennie is de afgelopen weken een vaste waarde gebleven in het middenveld van Juventus. De Amerikaan zal opnieuw centraal staan wanneer Massimiliano Allegri's ploeg de druk van een veeleisende reeks competitiewedstrijden moet managen. Juventus weet dat het laten liggen van punten nu een directe impact kan hebben op hun titelambities.<\/p>\n

Pulisic blijft intussen een belangrijke aanvalsoptie voor Milan in hun zoektocht naar consistentie. Met belangrijke wedstrijden die in snel tempo naderen, heeft Milan's volgende competitietaak extra gewicht. Pulisic's vermogen om kansen te cre\u00ebren en vanuit de flanken te scoren kan cruciaal blijken.<\/p>\n

In de Premier League keren Chris Richards en Crystal Palace terug in actie met een moeilijke uitwedstrijd tegen Chelsea, waarmee ze willen reageren na een tegenslag. Palace zoekt naar een stabiele reeks, en de rol van Richards in de verdediging blijft sleutel, terwijl ze zich proberen aan te scherpen tegen een van de gevaarlijkste aanvallen van de competitie.<\/p>\n

In heel Europa staat er weer een druk weekend te wachten voor Amerikanen in het buitenland, met verschillende spelers die wedstrijden tegemoet gaan die het kortetermijnmomentum van hun clubs kunnen bepalen. Vooral voor McKennie en Pulisic ligt de focus op presteren onder hoge druk in Serie A, terwijl Richards en Palace proberen terug te veren onder de lampen van Stamford Bridge.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
