    Rick Edwards, Luke Edwards and Clinton Morrison discuss the latest Premier League weekend.
    Manchester City's maintained their perfect start to the season on the pitch with a comfortable win at Anfield - but what does the future hold for them and the Premier League hold after they were found guilty of breaching financial regulations?

    Oliver Glasner lost on his return to Selhurst Park, with Nottingham Forest losing 3-1 to Crystal Palace - including an extraordinary miss from Forest striker Liam Delap. Spurs are still winless, but a late equaliser at Old Trafford saw Manchester United booed off.
