After what seems like a longer than usual international break, the Premier League finally returns this weekend.

Perhaps the pick of the fixtures is Manchester City’s clash with Liverpool, which kicks off at 12.30 on Saturday. Both of the sides are expected to be in title contention come the end of the season and they’ve set the early pace, with two wins and a draw apiece.

Saturday also sees a battle between the two most recent Premier League champions, as Leicester entertain Chelsea at the King Power Stadium. All eyes will be on Danny Drinkwater, who could make his Chelsea debut against his former side.

Everton host Tottenham in another tasty 3pm kick-off with both sides eager to bounce back after picking up just one point over their past two fixtures, while Arsenal will hope to get back to winning ways against struggling Bournemouth.

Meanwhile Brighton will play West Brom and Southampton take on Watford in Saturday’s other 3pm kick-offs, before Manchester United travel to Stoke City hoping to make it four wins out of four.

GOAL! Leicester 1-2 Chelsea (Vardy, pen)

Leicester 1-2 Chelsea

Antonio Conte will have been confident of leaving Leicester with all three points when N'Golo Kante doubled Chelsea's lead just after half-time.

They've lost their mojo in the last 10 minutes though and the Foxes are pushing for an equaliser. Can they get it?

Arsenal 3-0 Bournemouth

Alexis Sanchez is on for Arsenal at the Emirates to a mixture of boos and cheers from the home supporters.

That will undoubtedly change if he gets on the scoresheet in the final 15 minutes.

GOAL! Brighton 3-1 West Brom (Morrison)

78' - James Morrison grabs a consolation goal for West Brom at the Amex.
