The third round of fixtures in the Premier League features some mouth-watering matches across the EPL table.
We’ll update this story with reports, results, highlights and the latest Premier League standings throughout the games.
The action is already underway, with Manchester City going head-to-head with Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.
City have kept the same starting XI as last week, but Nicolas Pepe misses out for Arsenal through illness.
There are another six games on Saturday, with the teatime clash between Liverpool and Chelsea the standout fixture.
Both sides head into the game with a 100 percent record and will be eager to lay down an early marker in the title race.
The Blues are expected to recall N’Golo Kante to their starting line-up, with Mateo Kovacic dropping down to the bench.
Sunday’s line-up features three games, including Wolverhampton Wanderers versus Manchester United at 4.30 pm.
United were held to a 1-1 draw at Southampton last weekend and will be desperate to return to winning ways at Molineux.
