Premier League preview week four: Cristiano Ronaldo in line for his second Manchester United debut in Newcastle clash

Twitter/@ManUtd

The Premier League is back this weekend after the first international break of the season, with players returning to their clubs ready to get back into domestic action.

Return of Ronaldo at Old Trafford

Cristiano Ronaldo left international duty early in order to train with his new Manchester United team-mates ahead of potentially making his second debut this weekend.

United are in action against Newcastle United on Saturday and can go to top of the league if they are victorious and other results go their way.

Of those other results, they would need Tottenham to lose when they take on Crystal Palace.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are the only team who still have a 100 per cent record in the league, having won all of their games 1-0.

Manchester City head to Leicester City

Current champions Manchester City visit Leicester City, looking to record their third consecutive victory.

They are without their first and second choice goalkeepers though, with both Ederson and Zack Steffen unavailable meaning veteran goalkeeper Scott Carson will have to fill in between the sticks.

Fellow title contenders Liverpool are in action on Sunday, travelling to Leeds United looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the campaign.

Leeds themselves are yet to win, having drawn twice and lost once since the start of the season.

Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea also have their sights set on a Premier League title and currently sit fourth in the table.

The Blues are unbeaten and can continue their good run of form on Saturday when they face Aston Villa.

Another London club, West Ham, have got off to a superb start and blown away their opponents at times.

The Hammers will look to impress again this weekend when they play Southampton, with the chance to leapfrog Spurs and go top of the league if they win.

Arsenal welcome Norwich in a battle at the bottom

Elsewhere, bottom of the league Arsenal could finally pick up their first points and score their first goals of the campaign when they welcome Norwich.

The two sides are joint-bottom of the table, both yet to win or draw any matches this season.

The other newly-promoted sides, Brentford and Watford, are in action against Brighton and Wolves.

The Bees take on the Seagulls, with both sides making strong starts to their respective campaigns and currently occupying spots in the top half.

Watford and Wolves haven’t done as well, with the latter losing all three of their opening games.

Finally, Everton welcome Burnley for Monday night football in the last match of the weekend, with the Toffees looking to close out the weekend by maintaining their unbeaten run.
