Manchester City v Liverpool

Premier League Live with Sky Sports is back after the international break and we're back with a double header. First up, we have commentary of Manchester City and Liverpool from the Etihad Stadium with Dave McIntyre and Gary Breen.

Both clubs have picked up seven points from their opening three league games of the season and both Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp put more of an emphasis on attack, which should make for a great game.

City captain Vincent Kompany is a doubt after picking up a calf injury while playing for Belgium so that could influence what formation Guardiola goes with but he does have Kyle Walker back from suspension. However Raheem Sterling is unavailable for City against his former club due to the red card he picked up after celebrating an injury time winner against Bournemouth last month.

Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho could be involved after he featured for Brazil in World Cup qualifying but it's hard to imagine Klopp changing his attack following the 4-0 win over Arsenal, which means Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is unlikely to start. Liverpool are unbeaten against City under Jurgen Klopp and have lost just once in their last 22 top-flight games against last season's top seven.

You can hear that game ONLY on Today FM.com/PLL and it gets underway at 12.00.

 

 

 

Everton v Tottenham

Our second commentary of the day comes from Goodison Park where Everton play host to last season's runners up Tottenham. Both sides won on the opening weekend but have picked up one point since, having both tasted defeat against champions Chelsea.

All eyes will be on Wayne Rooney following an eventful international break and that after he retired from international football. Kieran Trippier is available for Tottenham so we may not see new signing Serge Aurier who they signed from PSG.
Everton are a tough nut to crack at Goodison and have won 10 of their 11 home league matches in 2017. Spurs striker Harry Kane has scored 99 goals in all competitions for Spurs and he'll be glad to see the back of August in terms of statistics, having never scored a Premier League goal in August.

Ian Beach and Brian Kerr will be in the commentary box for us at Goodison Park and we'll have reporters at all the other games with Arsenal, Chelsea and league leaders Manchester United all in action tomorrow.

We'll be joined by former European Cup winner Mark Lawrenson and this week's guest in the " Boot Room " is former Republic of Ireland international Niall Quinn.
