Dec and Jonny are back and are ready for it (the proper football) all over again after at least one of them enjoyed a break away with a missing man in Dave this week. Unfortunately, the resident Toffee is missing this week and after Everton has been handed a ten-point deduction from the Premier League it is down to the Kopites to break down this punishment and what it means for the blue side of Merseyside ahead of their game at the weekend against the travelling Manchester United.

The lads will preview the matches ahead of the weekend's action that will see Liverpool travel to the Etihad where they have not had the best record in recent years in the League playing Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. Could it be that after eight years since their last win in the Prem in this fixture, Klopp's Reds could pick up three points? Or will it be the Citizens who will recapture their title-winning form with a vital win?

Also on at the weekend will be clashes between Brentford and Arsenal, Newcastle against Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa as well as the Monday night game as Fulham take on Wolves. The Bees will want to show up like they did when they first took on the Gunners when they entered the league two years ago, The Magpies will still have their eyes on Champions League qualification for next season despite their injuries when they face the Blues from West London, Spurs will need to ignore the absences of Romero, van de Ven and Maddison (to just name a few) if they want to show that Villa are not prepared for the top six and The Cottagers will need to prove that Dec was wrong to back Wolves after the latters' late heroics in the previous gameweek.
