Another weekend of Premier League action is upon us, which gets underway with Manchester United's home clash against Newcastle United this afternoon.
The Red Devils have made a perfect start to their campaign so far, as have local rivals Manchester City who are looking to make it nine top-flight wins in a row when they face Everton.
Liverpool and Leicester City are the other two clubs to have so far racked up a 100% winning start, and they take on Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur respectively over the coming days.
It has been a slow start for Sunderland at the other end of the table, meanwhile, with an out-of-sorts Black Cats side taking on a very much in-form Swansea City at the Stadium of Light.
Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the third round of fixtures, with a selection of statistics from each game taking place to whet the appetite.
