The English Premier League is back this weekend after the internatio­nal break, and the first game today is a potential cracker, as Liverpool take on Manchester United. Jose Mourinho’s United have got off to a brilliant start to the season, with just two points dropped in the league thus far amid a flurry of goals, with new striking signing Romelu Lukaku in stunning form. The only question mark over United right now is that they have yet to face top-class opposition, which Liverpool could provide at Anfield if Juergen Klopp can plug his team’s leaky defence. Liverpool have a fantastic attack, but have won just one of their last seven in all competitio­ns, without keeping a clean sheet. With this in mind, it is hard to see them getting more than a point. Pool - S6 V2 P1 M1: Birmingham City v Cardiff City - Birmingham’s struggles to continue TIP: Cardiff win = 3 M2: Bristol City v Burton Albion - A win for high-flying Bristol TIP: Bristol City win = 1 M3: Olympique Lyonnais v Monaco - Lyon to grab a point TIP: Draw = 2 M4: St Johnstone v Rangers Rangers with a narrow in TIP: Rangers win = 3 M5: Espanyol v Levante - A close home win TIP: Espanyol win = 1 M6: Liverpool v Manchester United - Previewed above.
