Man City face Anfield cauldron after guilty Premier League verdicts
AFP sports looks at the pick of the action as the English top-flight returns after a three-week international break.
Manchester City will face a hostile Anfield crowd on Sunday as they seek to resume their Premier League campaign following recent guilty verdicts over financial irregularities. The English club has appealed the findings, which accused them of using "sham" sponsorship deals to artificially inflate revenues and cut costs by over £900 million.
Despite their innocence, City's place in the division is now under threat. Liverpool, under Jurgen Klopp, will aim to capitalize on City's legal woes and bounce back from recent defeats. Meanwhile, Manchester United and Tottenham are both needing wins against their respective opponents, with United facing severe pressure to turn their fortunes around.
Arsenal, on the other hand, aims to kickstart their season after a rare defeat with a victory at home to Leeds.
