Manchester City - Brentford 1:0 (1st half)
Just three days after beating Chelsea 0:2 on the way to the round of 16 of the League Cup, the champions will host Brentford, who have won only one of their last nine matches and lost on penalties to Gillingham from the English fourth division in the middle of the week.
Arling Holland returned to the 11 at a good time, along with Joao Cancelo who returned from suspension, Kevin de Brauna who did not start against the Blues and Phil Foden.
Brentford didn't score last season in their two games against the Citizens since being promoted to the Premier League and will be hoping to do so this time around, with Ivan Toney returning after being sent off in last Saturday's 2-2 draw against Nottingham.
3 min: Great chance for Brentford to stun in the opener, but Ederson did well to stop Onyike.
7th minute: This time Ederson came out badly and set up a situation for the visitor, but he made amends when he deflected Toni's close kick.
Another big miss by Brentford.
16th minute: Goal!
The goalkeeper Raya kicked a long free kick towards the box, the defender Mee struck and Toni continued with an arcing shot from six meters over the hands of Ederson.
0:1 surprising but justified for Brentford.
More in Walla!
This is what life looks like with and without knee pain (and the secret to the solution)

Liverpool - Southampton (17:00, Sport2)
The Mets got back on the winning track in the Premier League last week with an impressive 1:2 away to Tottenham, a victory that may have slightly overshadowed the embarrassing losses to Nottingham and Leeds at Anfield, and now they will host the "Saints" who in the middle of the week fired their coach, Ralph Hasenhotel, and appointed Nathan Jones in his place .
Southampton dropped below the red line after being beaten by Newcastle, while Liverpool hope to go into the World Cup break with a win that would leave them at most seven points clear of the top 4. Mohamed Salah did not feature in the win over Derby County on penalties in midweek in the League Cup and he will of course return to the squad and try Score a fourth game in a row in all competitions.
The evening before the game it became known that Jurgen Klopp was suspended for one game, and therefore will not be on the lines against the Saints.
The German coach was fined 30,000 pounds following the outburst at the refereeing team in the 0:1 against Manchester City last month, the association appealed the penalty, the appeal was successful and the penalty was removed to an actual expulsion.
The outburst cost him dearly.

Tottenham - Leeds (17:00, Sport1)
The Roosters have lost four of the last seven games, including midweek to Nottingham Forest in the League Cup in a game in which Antonio Conte started with a pretty strong lineup, and they are already eight points away from the leader Arsenal, and this is even more so when Tottenham have a game to spare.
Therefore, Antonio Conte cannot afford to lose more points against Leeds, who have won the last two rounds of the league and thus coach Jesse Marsh was able to lower the threat of dismissal that was hovering.
In Nottingham in the League Cup, Harry Kane started in the lineup, but was replaced after the second goal conceded by Tottenham and the coach revealed that the reason is that his star is not 100 percent fit, but he is expected to continue in the lineup.
It is possible that Dian Koloszewski will start for the first time since returning from injury, with Risharlison also sharing.
Jung Min Son will be absent and will return only in the World Cup in the uniform of the South Korean team.
cause for concern.

Newcastle - Chelsea (19:30, Sport1)
The hottest team in the Premier League is looking for a fifth win in a row in the league, which will guarantee them going into the break in third place.
The Magpies have scored fours in the last two games in the league against Aston Villa and Southampton, above all the Paraguayan Miguel Almiron stars with seven goals in the last seven cycles, and this of course should worry Graham Potter and the Blues who have won only twice in their last seven games in all competitions and have not kept a clean sheet since the game The first in this sequence, at 0:0 in Brentford about a month ago.
Potter came into the secondary lineup in the loss to Manchester City in the League Cup, knowing that the game in Newcastle is much more important in light of the possibility of narrowing the gap from it to only three points and staying strong in the picture of the battle for entering the top 4. By the way, in the last four games between them in the league, Chelsea won by zero.
in peak form.

Wolves - Arsenal (21:45, Sport1)
Arsenal recorded two wins and two losses in their last four games at the "Molino" Stadium, but in none of those games were they leading the Premier League - and a victory over the Wolves, still without Julen Lopetegui on the lines, will take them out of first place.
In the middle of the week, Mikel Arteta's team lost at home to Brighton and ended their way in the league cup, but the coach made 10 changes to the lineup in order to keep his stars fresh for the away game against Wolves, who have won only three times in the last ten games, in the home games against Southampton sometime in early September , against Nottingham about a month ago and in the middle of the week beat Leeds in the league cup.
It will be the last game for interim coach Steve Davis, who only a win can get him out of the red line.
