This fast and furious month of football continues this weekend as the Premier League rolls into gameweek 10.
The top matches to watch out for are Southampton’s please-have-mercy trip to Manchester City, Arsenal’s clash with Liverpool and Everton’s late Sunday hosting of Manchester United.
Here are 90min’s predictions for the weekend ahead.
