New Norwich manager Dean Smith faces Southampton for the second time in a fortnight and will hope for revenge at Carrow Road. A 1-0 defeat against the Saints prior to the international break resulted in Smith being sacked by Aston Villa so he will know all about his first opponents now he has moved to East Anglia.
The next season of rugby league’s top competition – officially known as “Super League Europe” but more commonly as the Super League – will conclude with its 25th Grand Final. Ahead of this milestone, we’ve examined the competition by taking a look back across its history to date.
Arsenal’s revival continued with an impressive victory at Leicester last weekend and the visit of Watford gives them a good opportunity to maintain their climb up the table. Mikel Arteta’s men lost their first three matches of the season but are now up to sixth after a seven-match unbeaten run featuring five wins.
Burnley finally recorded their first win of the season last weekend but face a tough task to maintain the momentum on Saturday. The Clarets remain in the relegation zone despite beating Brentford and now head to Stamford Bridge to face leaders Chelsea.
Brighton are unbeaten against bottom-half teams this season and can improve that record when they host struggling Newcastle on Saturday. Albion now look a class above the weaker teams in the Premier League but are still not the most ruthless in front of goal.
Southampton got the monkey off their back with a first league win of the season last weekend and will want to double their tally against still-winless Burnley. Summer arrival Armando Broja justified Ralph Hasenhuttl’s decision to leave Adam Armstrong on the bench with his first Premier League goal to secure a 1-0 victory over Leeds.
Manchester City are purring at present and are hot on the heels of Premier League leaders Chelsea ahead of this clash with Brighton at the Amex. The Citizens are worthy favourites for this trip to the south coast and will be full of confidence after thrashing Club Brugge 5-1 on Tuesday night.

West Brom have had the international break to lick their wounds after losing their unbeaten record and will hope to get back to winning ways. Albion slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Stoke last time out but can return to the top of the Championship table with victory here.
Fulham and QPR both look early contenders for promotion from the Championship and Saturday’s west London derby could be a cracker. The two teams are separated by just one place and two points ahead of their showdown at Craven Cottage and are the top scorers in the division.
Leeds are one of five teams still waiting for a first Premier League win and are under pressure to get up and running when they host Watford. The Whites have only managed three draws and three defeats from their opening six games and start in the relegation zone.
Leicester’s stuttering start to the season continues but they are producing plenty of entertainment. The Foxes have been far from solid in defence and had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Burnley, just as they did in their Europa League Group C opener against Napoli.
We were right to oppose Leicester last weekend but we’re much more hopeful for them when they host Burnley on Saturday. The Foxes slipped to a 2-1 defeat at Brighton to give us three winning predictions at odds of 7/4, 5/1 and 19/2!
Everton’s impressive start under Rafael Benitez came to an abrupt halt last weekend but they can get back on track straight away at the expense of bottom side Norwich. The Canaries are again struggling to make the step up to the Premier League.
