It's the weekend! Time to move away from the Champions League for a moment and focus on what happens this weekend in the English Premier League.

Just like that, it's game week 4, and we have only eight teams that have yet to taste defeat this season. As we head into the weekend, only Hull City remains without conceding a goal, while only two teams maintain perfect records.

Free-scoring Chelsea lost at Arsenal last weekend, with the Gunners proving once again that they're the team to beat this season. The Blues scored one against Arsenal; now they will face Hull City, another team that has yet to concede a goal.

The Tigers are on cloud 9. Sunderland and Brentford were both defiant last season until the very end. Can Hull City stand their ground against the Blues? Chelsea put six past Leeds United in the EFL Cup on Wednesday; should Hull be worried?

There's an intriguing battle brewing between Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest. The Midlands will see the two clubs do battle after a poor start to the new season. Aston Villa has only one point from three games, while Forest can only boast of one more.

Unai Emery's men found joy in the Champions League on Tuesday away at Club Brugge. The 3-2 win handed Emery his first win this season, but the defensive lapses that saw them concede twice must be worrying. It will be a fun game to watch on Saturday.

Liverpool have now won back-to-back games under Andoni Iraola, with the second coming in their impressive 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday. Fulham, under Álvaro Arbeloa, has lost their opening three games in the league. Is the Spanish manager in trouble?

You do feel for the former Real Madrid player and manager. The Premier League is so unforgiving, and you wonder if this Fulham side has what it takes to earn anything from Anfield on Saturday. Will Arbeloa be the first managerial casualty this season?

With only one point in three games, and Everton visiting the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, Roberto De Zerbi is another manager who could be living on thin ice. The former Brighton manager has his work cut out for him after the club spent so much in the summer. It's time to see results.

The big one on Sunday between the Red Devils and Manchester City will come with ripples. City is one of the two teams with a 100% record, and with Arsenal playing away at Sunderland a day earlier, the Cityzens could be starting the day off the top of the log.

Manchester United blew FC Sabah away in the Champions League on Thursday night, but the visit of their city rivals will be a different occasion entirely. A win could galvanize United's season, while a wrong result could bring out the ghosts against Michael Carrick. We can't wait for this one.
