Matchday 8 of the Premier League kicks off on Friday, and there will be major talking points over this weekend, which comes prior to an interesting International Break.
Just like last week, Liverpool faces one more top-six side. This time, Jürgen Klopp's men face Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, a matchup that surely brings back fond memories for the Reds. Things have changed since the last time these teams met, but that doesn't mean that we will not be treated to another masterful display by two of the most praised coaches in the world.
Chelsea's visit to Southampton will also be worth-watching, while other fans will keep tabs on whatever Arsenal does against Fulham. Unai Emery's men have shown strength after a slow start, and one more win here could see them climb to the third spot in the Premier League.
Match of the Week - Liverpool vs Manchester City
Almost everything has been said about the showdown between the Reds and the Citizens. Klopp will try to keep Pep Guardiola at bay once again, relying especially on the team's strength at Anfield when facing the current league leaders. Nevertheless, Guardiola's men have been a bit better than their hosts in recent weeks, which could be the deciding factor to grant Man City their first win at Anfield since 2003.

Talk of the weekend - Three teams looking for their first win
Newcastle, Cardiff and Huddersfield haven't been able to win a single Premier League game, and their fans are starting to worry about their chances to keep their spot in the Premier League. All these teams have to play away from home, and their options of earning three points seem rather slim. Will any of them end their drought this weekend, or should some of their bosses start preparing the ax?
