Enzo Maresca is rewriting the record books at Manchester City, becoming the first manager in Premier League history to win his opening seven matches in charge. Stepping into Pep Guardiola's enormous shoes, the Italian has looked completely unbothered by the pressure, and City are rolling.
Over in the Premier League this evening, Newcastle host Aston Villa in what shapes up as a genuinely compelling fixture. The Magpies are deploying Joe Willock on the right wing with Joelinton pushed into midfield, giving their setup an interesting wrinkle. Kick-off was five-thirty BST and the atmosphere at St. James' should be electric.
Meanwhile, Liverpool fans have real cause for concern after Dominik Szoboszlai picked up an injury recurrence, with the Hungarian's heavy workload for both club and country appearing to catch up with him. Szoboszlai has been central to everything Arne Slot wants to do this season, so managing his minutes becomes absolutely critical from here on out.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
