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.

Leicester 1-2 Chelsea

Chelsea want a penalty at the King Power as Alvaro Morata's header hits Harry Maguire's arm in the area. The referee is having none of it though.

Can this man wrap up all three points for Chelsea?

Leicester 1-2 Chelsea

Riyad Mahrez crosses for Jamie Vardy but the ball is just too high for the England striker and Chelsea clear the ball. That could've been the equaliser for Leicester!
