Man City v Liverpool, Newcastle v Man United and Luton v Watford

The Premier League is back and so too is Kelly Somers, alongside Duncan Alexander, Jay Harris and Dom Fifield. Manchester City are chasing leaders Arsenal and host their old nemeses Liverpool at lunchtime on Saturday. A big game after a difficult international break for Virgil Van Dijk. Newcastle look to leapfrog Man United into 3rd at St James’s Park while Selhurst Park welcomes back Roy Hodgson for the visit of Leicester. Yes there are big games in the Premier League but are any as big as Luton v Watford in the Championship? Just don’t call it the M1 derby. Plus the accountancy derby, why there’s no mid-table and how severely Mitrovic should be punished. Produced by Charlie Jones.
