Summary
Dan Bardell and George Elek are joined by the Athletic's Jay Harris to look ahead to all seven games this weekend as the Premier League returns from a week off. There's a big game on Friday night between two promoted sides Nottingham Forest and Fulham, can Forest pick up some points to match their promising performances of late, or will Mitrovic be too much for that leaky defence?
There are question marks over Son's place in the Spurs team as they get set to take on Leicester, Brentford take on Arsenal with Ivan Toney looking to celebrate his England call-up with a big performance, and there's a big game for Steven Gerrard as Aston Villa look to back up that point against Man City with a positive result at home to Southampton on Friday night
All that plus Wolves v Man City, Everton v West Ham and Newcastle v Bournemouth

| 0:03.1 | I've seen what's going to happen |

| 0:18.8 | as to why he was left out. |
| 0:37.7 | This is a game, Stephen Gerard. He needs a win. It's no good getting a draw against Manchester City and then losing against Southampton at home that these are the games now that he's going to be judged on. And if he doesn't get results, his job's probably going to be in trouble. Son is the one who looks very out of form. He's playing well He's not really even getting himself into the gold scoring positions |
