Manchester City v Tottenham (8.30pm): He has been scoring goals for fun so far this season and now Erling Haaland gets to test his scoring touch against one of the 'Big Six' for the first time in City colours. Both teams are undefeated so far and Spurs have their own in-form goal-getter in Harry Kane - but it is hard to see anything other than a City win with Haaland scoring again. Prediction: City 3 Spurs 1.

West Ham v Newcastle (5pm): Both teams found themselves on the wrong end of a woeful VAR decision last week. West Ham saw a late goal ruled out that denied them a point against Chelsea, while Newcastle suffered a similar fate during their goalless draw with Crystal Palace. A narrow win for the Magpies here though - their first since the opening weekend of the season. Prediction: West Ham 0 Newcastle 1. Getty

Crystal Palace v Manchester United (7.30pm): The early-season gloom has been lifted from United with Erik ten Hag's men having won four on the spin after losing their opening two games.

Premier League predictions: Man City sink Spurs, Arsenal thump Everton

We pick out the winners and losers from this weekend's English top-flight fixtures

The last remaining 100 per cent record in the Premier League bit the dust last week when Arsenal fell to a 3-1 defeat at Manchester United.

The Gunners had won five out of five going into the game but saw that run come to an end and it is United who now find themselves enjoying a streak of their own – Erik ten Hag's side now have four victories on the spin.

At the other end of the table, there are two teams who have yet to taste victory this season. Leicester City sit bottom of the pile with just one point to their name, while Everton have managed four draws but still await that first win.

This weekend's fixtures kick-off on Saturday with a London derby between Fulham and Chelsea – who have just sacked manager Thomas Tuchel.

Bournemouth are playing host to Brighton, Leicester City face Aston Villa at the King Power Stadium, Liverpool take on Wolves on Merseyside, Southampton tackle Brentford on the south coast, while the only two undefeated teams left in the division meet at the Etihad Stadium when Manchester City clash with Tottenham Hotspur.

Sunday sees Arsenal against Everton at the Emirates Stadium, West Ham versus Newcastle United at the London Stadium and Crystal Palace take on Manchester United in the capital.

Leeds United then take on Nottingham Forest in the Monday night match at Elland Road.
