It is the third weekend of the Premier League season and already various themes are starting to emerge: Chelsea's title defence is becoming a soap opera, Manchester City look like the team to beat, Liverpool have done a decent job in the transfer market this summer, Everton and Leicester could surprise a few people.

With Liverpool not visiting Arsenal until Monday night, there are several contenders for game of the weekend. Steve McClaren takes winless Newcastle to Old Trafford hoping to get one over on his old employers while league leaders Man City head to in-form Everton in what could be a thriller with plenty of goals on Sunday afternoon.
