What a weekend of Premier League action including THAT defeat for Man City at Norwich and a weird and wonderful game at Watford.


Natalie Sawyer and Gregor Robertson are joined by James Gheerbrant and Bill Edgar for more including why England must not let Tammy Abraham slip through the net, and why Leeds might be even better than last season.


Plus we look ahead to the return of the Champions League - but is there really a better team out there than Liverpool?
