Tottenham 1-5 Man City: New recruit from rivals Arsenal, Samir Nasri, starts for Manchester City against Tottenham, alongside the most expensive acquisition in the Premier League this summer Sergio Aguero
Roberto Mancini's Manchester City side have made an impressive start to the season, but come up against a Spurs side that are looking to break into the top four after missing out last season
Fellow Italian manager Fabio Capello, the boss of the England national team, is present at St. James' Park keeping an eye on the six players in contention for selection that make a start for both sides today
Gareth Barry (left) and Rafael van der Vaart battle for midfield supremacy in the centre of the park. Van der Vaart's Dutch team-mate Nigel de Jong misses out for City today though
The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Spurs' Peter Crouch lays dejectedly on the turf after heading Gareth Bale's wonderful cross just wide of Joe Hart's goal
Luka Modric (right) doesn't look happy in a Spurs shirt does he? Well, he'll have more reasons to be glum after his side find themselves 2-0 down at half-time courtesy of a double from City striker Edin Dzeko
City's Aguero slots home the fourth for the away side, to add to Dzeko's four goals, as they send out a message to the rest of the Premier League with a thumping victory over Spurs
Newcastle 2-1 Fulham: The theme of 'players and previous clubs' is prominent in the Newcastle United versus Fulham match, where former Magpies Aaron Hughes (centre) and Damien Duff play against their old club
Leon Best runs off to celebrate for Newcastle as he put the home side in the lead against Fulham, tapping in from three yards out after goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer tipped Yohan Cabaye's shot onto the bar
West Brom 0-1 Stoke City: Stoke's Ryan Shotton was the hero for the Potters as he poached a last minute goal to give his side the win against West Brom at the Hawthorns
Manchester United 8-2 Arsenal: Despite the midfield departures from Arsenal in the last couple of weeks, these two Gunners fans are positive about the future with the current manager at the helm
Manchester United take the lead through Danny Welbeck, his sixth consecutive headed goal, from Anderson's sumptuous chipped ball into the box, but later limps off with a hamstring injury
Howard Webb points to the spot after Jonny Evans impedes Theo Walcott, but Manchester United's much-maligned goalkeeper David de Gea keeps out Robin van Persies's spot kick with a brilliant save
Ashley Young looks on to see if his 25-yard curling effort for the second goal could be bettered by Wayne Rooney, who responds to his team-mate by caressing a free-kick into the top corner of the net
Arsenal pull one back just before half-time through, Walcott but Rooney scores another glorious free-kick before Nani's sublime chip over Wojciech Szczesny puts United 5-1 in front
Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson receives his marching orders for a second yellow card after a trip. Park Ji-Sung adds a sixth, Rooney completes his hat-trick from the spot and Young adds the eighth for United
It's a wonderful afternoon for United as they smash eight past Arsenal to move top of the table. Arsenal, though, endure a miserable start to the season and pick up just one point from their opening three games
