EPL: EARLY SEASON POINTER IN CLASH BETWEEN MAN CITY AND ARSENAL
Title favourites collide

Manchester City host Arsenal in a showdown between the Premier League title favourites to morrow, while Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou badly needs a win when his side host Brentford.

Liverpool are looking to bounce back from a shock home defeat to Nottingham Forest when Bournemouth visit Anfield and Manchester United seek revenge with a trip to Crystal Palace.

A battle between the top two pits the unstoppable force in City's in-form striker Erling Haaland against the immovable object in Arsenal's obturate defence.

Haaland has struck a Premier League record nine times in the opening four games of the season.

But Mikel Arteta's Arsenal have only conceded once, when down to 10 men against Brighton, and kept clean sheets already away at Aston Villa and Tottenham.
