This week’s Super Sunday lives up to the billing with the Premier League’s top-three all in action.
Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea are all in action and all will be hoping to maintain their undefeated starts to the season.
City host neighbours Manchester United in the big game of the weekend at the Etihad, and both come into the clash on the back of some good form.

The final game of the day sees Arsenal host Wolves – who are looking to end a run of three successive loses.
