The Premier League returns this weekend with several intriguing fixtures after a busy midweek of European action. Arsenal and Manchester City remain the only two sides with a 100% record after three games and both will look to keep that going.
The standout match is Sunday’s Manchester derby at Old Trafford. United go into the game on the back of their Champions League win, while City have been clinical in front of goal thanks to Erling Haaland. It will be the first derby since Pep Guardiola’s departure from the Etihad.
Other Saturday games include Chelsea hosting Hull, Liverpool facing Fulham at Anfield, and Sunderland welcoming Arsenal in a tough away trip for the champions. Crystal Palace vs Ipswich and Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest also catch the eye as sides look to build momentum.
Nicolas Jackson will be one to watch for Villa after his Champions League contribution, while several teams still searching for consistency will hope this weekend provides a turning point.
The title race already looks like it could be between Arsenal and City, but the next two weeks will give a clearer picture of who can stay with them.
