The Premier League is back for its third stint of the season following the international break.
Can Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea stay unbeaten at the top? And can Huddersfield Town, Newcastle United and Cardiff City finally get a win?
Find out below in this week's predictions.
Chelsea 3 Manchester United 1
Saturday, 3.30pm
Why? The Newcastle United win was a reprieve for Jose Mourinho, but more misery in London awaits the Portuguese. Eden Hazard is in terrific form and he will have too much for United's wobbly backline.

Bournemouth 3 Southampton 0
Saturday, 6pm
Why? Eddie Howe's side are a lot of fun and are full of goals with Callum Wilson and Josh King both firing on all cylinders and more should come against a Southampton team who have been underwhelming to say the least so far.
Cardiff City 1 Fulham 2
Saturday, 6pm
Why? Cardiff have played some good stuff at times without getting that elusive first win. That victorious moment will not come here as Fulham have looked good against sides near the bottom of the league and in Aleksandar Mitrovic they have a great goal threat.
Manchester City 3 Burnley 0
Saturday, 6pm
Why? Burnley have put their struggling start behind them but that will not be enough to bother City. Pep Guardiola's men have a perfect record at the Etihad Stadium and with Sergio Aguero rested after the international break more goals should come here.
Newcastle United 1 Brighton and Hove Albion 0
Saturday, 6pm
Why? Newcastle were unfortunate to come away with nothing from Old Trafford, but Rafa Benitez's team will get that first triumph here as they win what is likely to be a tense and tight encounter with Brighton.
West Ham United 2 Tottenham Hotspur 2
Saturday, 6pm
Why? Very hard one to call this. West Ham can be great but also very poor. Tottenham are yet to hit the heights of previous seasons and you feel their tally of 18 points flatters them given how they have actually played. Honours to end even in an enjoyable London clash.
Wolverhampton Wanderers 2 Watford 0
Saturday, 6pm
Why? Both sides made good starts to the season but Wolves have kept theirs up while Watford's is in danger of tailing off with just one point from their past four games. Wolves have lived up to their pre-season surprise package tag and they will get another three points here.
Huddersfield Town 0 Liverpool 3
Saturday, 8.30pm
Why? Liverpool have dipped since winning their first seven games in all competitions but they get back to winning ways here. Jurgen Klopp's men may have some injuries but they will still be too good for Huddersfield.
Everton 2 Crystal Palace 0
Sunday, 7pm
Why? Everton have a real goal threat in Richarlison, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Theo Walcott and that will see off a Crystal Palace side who are struggling to find the net themselves.
Arsenal 4 Leicester City 2
Monday, 11pm
Why? Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are proving a difficult combination for Premier League sides to handle and more goals should come here against inconsistent Leicester.

Should late investors consider cryptocurrencies?
Wealth managers recommend late investors to have a balanced portfolio that typically includes traditional assets such as cash, government and corporate bonds, equities, commodities and commercial property.
They do not usually recommend investing in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies due to the risk and volatility associated with them.
“It has produced eye-watering returns for some, whereas others have lost substantially as this has all depended purely on timing and when the buy-in was. If someone still has about 20 to 25 years until retirement, there isn’t any need to take such risks,” Rupert Connor of Abacus Financial Consultant says.
He adds that if a person is interested in owning a business or growing a property portfolio to increase their retirement income, this can be encouraged provided they keep in mind the overall risk profile of these assets.

Straightforward ways to reduce sugar in your family's diet
- Ban fruit juice and sodas
- Eat a hearty breakfast that contains fats and wholegrains, such as peanut butter on multigrain toast or full-fat plain yoghurt with whole fruit and nuts, to avoid the need for a 10am snack
- Give young children plain yoghurt with whole fruits mashed into it
- Reduce the number of cakes, biscuits and sweets. Reserve them for a treat
- Don’t eat dessert every day
- Make your own smoothies. Always use the whole fruit to maintain the benefit of its fibre content and don’t add any sweeteners
- Always go for natural whole foods over processed, packaged foods. Ask yourself would your grandmother have eaten it?
- Read food labels if you really do feel the need to buy processed food
- Eat everything in moderation
