With last season's top four all collecting three points on the opening weekend it looks like business as usual in the Premier League. And even though its very early days, the league table certainly has a familiar look to it with the main contenders already gathering at the top.

Chelsea and Manchester City showed impressive form on the road last week, while Liverpool and Arsenal dug out narrow home wins at Anfield and the Emirates. The pick of this week's action sees two of the early pace-setters go head-to-head at the Etihad as Manchester City throw down the gauntlet for Liverpool.
