The Premier League is in full swing as of Saturday when the first game kicks off of Matchday 5. And because there is a God, the weekend’s festivities begins in style.

What better way to start the weekend off, than with a top-six battle? No better way in fact. A crippled Spurs welcomes a boastful Liverpool. Not only have they lost their fixture leading into this one. Now they face a crisis of not having important, key players available for their mammoth clash early in the afternoon.

Directly after, we get a goal-rush treat. Man City and Chelsea, rally to continue on their unbeaten run and keep the heat on one another. Besides the top dogs, Bournemouth and Leicester City want to continue on their smashing start to the new campaign.

The best one is still to come… The wonderful Watford takes on the problematic Man United. Are United back in business after their win a fortnight ago? Or, are the Hornets the team nobody can beat?
