Can Man City handle the fury at Anfield as the Premier League returns?

Will the English top flight ever be the same again? Jimbo, Julien Laurens, Duncan Alexander and Si Hughes have lots to ponder. After being ruled to have violated the Premier League’s financial rules for almost a decade, Man City travel to Liverpool on Sunday with the eyes of the world on them. Can Maresca’s men make it six wins out of six against a Liverpool side yet to lose under Iraola? Spurs are winless and bottom of the table. But could their luck turn against similarly under pressure Man United at Old Trafford? Champions Arsenal have had three weeks to stew over the 3-0 thrashing by Brighton, as they welcome unbeaten Leeds to the Emirates. Elsewhere, Glasner goes back to Selhurst Park. And could the Seagulls be champions? Plus it’s so long Lionel Messi and an almighty Ronaldo ramble as we wrap up the international break.
