And then there was one. Matchday 7 in the Premier League and we are down to just a single team with an unbeaten record.

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool are top of the table and yet to lose a game, although they did manage to twice throw away the lead in last week's 3-3 draw at Brentford.

Down at the bottom, there are still five teams who have yet to win a game with Norwich City, Burnley, Leeds United, Newcastle United and Southampton all still waiting to claim three points.

Starting a busy Saturday programme of fixtures, Manchester United play host to Everton at Old Trafford, followed by Burnley at home to Norwich and Chelsea facing Southampton in the capital. Leeds take on Watford in Yorkshire, Wolves are against Newcastle at Molineux, while Brighton versus Arsenal at the Amex finishes off the day's games.

Sunday sees Crystal Palace versus Leicester, Tottenham against Villa and West Ham entertain Brentford - all in London. The weekend's crunch clash sees Liverpool clash with Manchester City at Anfield that brings an end to the latest round of games.
