The Premier League table is starting to take shape.
While there is so much football still to be played, ten games offers a decent sample size from which to judge the respective teams.
What is obvious, even at this stage, is that the Premier League’s big-hitters will all be competitive at the top of the league.
The weekend starts with crisis club Manchester United’s trip to Fulham for the Saturday lunchtime kick-off. That is followed by a busy 3pm schedule when Brentford host West Ham, Manchester City welcome Bournemouth and Crystal Palace head to Burnley. Sheffield United’s clash with Wolves and Brighton’s visit to Everton are at the same time.
Later that day, Arsenal travel to Newcastle in a mouth-watering early evening clash at St James’ Park.
Sunday then sees Nottingham Forest welcome Aston Villa and Liverpool head to Luton.
There’s also the small matter of Mauricio Pochettino’s return to Tottenham on Monday as Chelsea head north for a huge London derby.
