And weโ€™re back. Premier League action resumes with, potentially, the biggest of bangs โ€“ a lip-smacking contest between Arsenal and Man City at the Emirates.

On paper, itโ€™s a fascinating contest with both sides looking to kickstart their campaigns. Manuel Pellegriniโ€™s outfit roll up to North London, smarting from a shock 1-0 setback to Stoke in their own backyard. Arsenalโ€™s start has been equally unconvincing โ€“ Arsene Wengerโ€™s charges dropped points at Everton and Leicester and are often found wanting against fellow title contenders: theyโ€™ve a point to prove today.

Fantasy managers have plenty to consider, not least the impact of Danny Welbeck: the ยฃ16 million capture from Manchester United has attracted over 200,000 new owners this week ahead of his debut.

The early kick-off is followed by no less than six three oโ€™clock encounters before we take the trip to Anfield as Liverpool host unbeaten Aston Villa.

As always, our Twitter feed will deliver all the lineups and key team news as the dayโ€™s events unfold.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    1. The Finnisher
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Was always going to be rather than Ramsey or Wilshere.

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Cazorla on the bench though, he's been in good form?
