EPL: Manchester City seek top spot as city rivals hope to overturn woes

Liverpool: Manchester City would look forward to put Liverpool’s top spot at risk as the two feature in a likely to be highly strung encounter in the seventh match day of Premier League. On the other hand, Manchester United would look to get past their underwhelming loss at the hands of Aston Villa.

Liverpool’s position at the top of the Premier League table is probably in jeopardy as Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City pay them a visit after causing a huge upset to Chelsea, the previous week in the Premier League at Stamford bridge before getting demolished 2-0 by Messi and co. Although they will be without Ikay Gundogan but the return of Aymeric Laporte and Rodri would act as a huge boost.

As for the reds, with the 5-1 Champions League win against Porto, Liverpool seems to have been bolstered as Roberto Firmino returned and also found his goal scoring spree which was missing from a long time. If City manages to edge past Liverpool in this clash of Titans, they will sitting at number 1 for the first time this season.

Overcoming the Aston Villa woes, Manchester United will be taking on Everton without Skipper Harry Maguire at Old Trafford anticipating full three points.

Aston Villa on the other hand will be paying a visit to Tottenham Hotspurs who having failed to register any victory in the past three Premier League encounter will be desperate for a win.

With two back to back defeats at the hands of Manchester City and Juventus, a very disheartened Chelsea will be hoping to bounce back to wining ways as they host Southampton at Stamford Bridge.
