We are back from the international break and straight into the latest round of Premier League fixtures.

The opening game of the weekend sees the top two clash at the Etihad Stadium when leaders Manchester City take on Liverpool on Saturday, with just one point separating the two sides.

Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, respective coaches at City and Liverpool, have faced each other more times than they’ve faced any other manager (28). Klopp’s 11 wins is the most by any manager against Guardiola, while Guardiola’s 10 victories is the most against Klopp.

There are then five games kicking off at 7pm (UAE) with Burnley taking on West Ham United at Turf Moor, Luton Town playing host to Crystal Palace, Newcastle tackling Chelsea on Tyneside, Nottingham Forest entertaining Brighton and Sheffield United at home to Bournemouth.

The late game sees Brentford taking on London rivals Arsenal at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Tips for job-seekers
  • Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
  • Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.
