  • English
  • Arabic

We are five games into the new season and three teams are left standing when it comes to unbeaten records.

Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United have yet to taste the pain of defeat, currently occupying the top three slots in the table and all looking like potential title winners.

At the other end of the equation, the list of winless wonders currently stands at five: Norwich City, Burnley, Newcastle United - who occupy the bottom three places - Leeds United and Southampton.

This weekend's fixtures start off with a couple of bangers on Saturday with Chelsea against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge and Manchester United playing host to Aston Villa - both early kick-offs.

Everton then face Norwich at Goodison Park, Leeds take on West Ham in Yorkshire, Leicester City play host to Burnley and Newcastle travel south to tackle Watford. Brentford against Liverpool in West London brings the day's action to a close in the late game.

On Sunday, Southampton are up against Wolves on the south coast, while the North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur takes place at the Emirates. Finally, on Monday, it's Crystal Palace versus Brighton at Selhurst Park.

Who was Alfred Nobel?

The Nobel Prize was created by wealthy Swedish chemist and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel.

  • In his will he dictated that the bulk of his estate should be used to fund "prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind".
  • Nobel is best known as the inventor of dynamite, but also wrote poetry and drama and could speak Russian, French, English and German by the age of 17. The five original prize categories reflect the interests closest to his heart.
  • Nobel died in 1896 but it took until 1901, following a legal battle over his will, before the first prizes were awarded.
