LIVERPOOL top the table by five points after just five games, but not everyone seems sold on the notion that the reigning champions are a shoo-in to defend their title. Will they overcome a resurgent Crystal Palace, who have had a habit of throwing a wrench into the relentless Red machine in recent years?
Elsewhere, The Bees will be looking to sting Amorim’s United, while Man City will hope to leave the Clarets flat in Saturday’s 3pm game. Sunday sees title contenders Arsenal on the road, heading north to St James’ Park for a heavyweight clash that could have huge repercussions down the line. “It’s all to play for” as a loquacious commentator might exclaim, and on what promises to be a truly exciting weekend of action, this is never truer!
