Premier League football returns this weekend as rivalries resume for Gameweek 9 of the 2019/20 season.
Liverpool boast a perfect record to lead the table by eight points after eight games, but Jurgen Klopp's title chasers will be put under pressure on Sunday as they take on fierce rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Manchester City can put some pressure on Liverpool before Sunday's huge clash as the champions travel to Crystal Palace in Saturday's late kick-off.
West Ham lost 2-0 at Everton in the early game before Chelsea host Newcastle, Tottenham need a result at home to Watford, and Arsenal round off the weekend's action with a trip to face Sheffield United on Monday night.
