The Magpies got a good win on the road too, over Bournemouth, and I think they will get something from this one. Liverpool v Burnley (15:00 BST)With three wins and a draw from their past four games, Burnley are doing brilliantly, especially when you consider how depleted Sean Dyche's squad is. But I see their good run ending when they go to Anfield. Liverpool will find it far harder to break Burnley down than it was against Brighton in midweek, but I think the end result will be the same - a Reds win.
Chesterfield certainly needed that small bump in form as they come into this match still in the relegation places and fearful that they are yet to hit rock bottom. However, the 15 points they have accomplished on their travels is a decent return and shows that they are more than capable of going to an opponents own turf and claiming the points.
However, despite this performance, Brest shouldn't be fooled thinking they're a top team now, as they have had their fair share of equally as poor results in recent weeks. Away from home they have been awful with just the one win in their seven league outings. They have conceded the second most chances on the road so far and with three defeats in their last four away games we don't hold much hope for them here.
After restarting with a win over Norwich, they fell to Arsenal before picking themselves up to beat Watford. With just three wins in their last 10 matches, The Saints could be in for a rough ride against Manchester City. A poor start to the season really messed up Southampton but it is their failure to establish a good run at home that has cost them even more.
Brescia are having a great nightmare at home after being down 9 times from 14 home matches in Seria A. That has left then down in the bottom of the league Table. Not getting to equal top Table Teams has proved a big problem for them. Their defensive formation is very bad letting in at least 2 goals per game. They have proved to be the worst home side in Seria A.
That's an odd reason to say I'm not happy or satisfied - I want to stay. After winning back-to-back titles and smashing goals and points records along the way last year, Guardiola insists he is liking the "challenge" of this season. City broke the Premier League points record in 2017-18 when they became the first club in English top-flight history to reach 100 for the season. It took another 98 to edge out Liverpool last term.

The eye-watering sums explain why so much work is going into plans to complete all the competitions - and start next season's, including the logistical difficulty of organising 203 two-legged qualifying ties involving all 55 Uefa nations, to be completed before the middle of October.

Orlando Pirates will head to this game as favorites going by their record over Golden Arrows, but we just don’t know how their reaction will be after the loss in Soweto Derby. Golden Arrows will want to take advantage of that but they have not been doing so well lately. Arrows have struggled, and most of their good times came late in games or were errors by opponents. With the two sides’ issues coming to this game, it is tough to make a pick but one factor that stands out is the shyness in attack. Just one of the last five meetings has seen both sides score, and only that game has ended in over 2.5 goals. Both sides have not been scoring a lot too ahead of this game, so our pick will be on the game to end with under 2.5 goals.

But a player with his potential has to give us more than he is giving us, especially when you see how Lucas, Lo Celso and those players are playing. I was expecting more in the first half from him. The double change worked for Tottenham as they put in a much-improved second-half display and Dele Alli's penalty earned the visitors a point. Mourinho suggested Ndombele - who joined Spurs from Lyon last summer and has made 24 appearances this season - may find it difficult to get back into the side.
