    Five months ago, Jadon Sancho was playing in the FA Youth Cup final for Manchester City.

    Today, after turning down a contract offer from the Blues, he has been named on the bench for the first time at new club Borussia Dortmund as they face Augsburg.

    A good move considering the logjam of talent in the City squad?

    Arsenal are the first of Sunday's games, taking on Brighton at midday tomorrow.

    And here is a interesting little line from Italy that might get tongues wagging at the Emirates pre kick-off.

    According to reports in Italy, covered here by Football Italia,, external only the offer of the Gunners job could convince Carlo Ancelott to break off his plans to go travelling following his exit from Bayern Munich earlier this week.

    Would the possibility of 'Carlo In' convert more to the 'Wenger Out' movement?

    But that is by far from the only story in town.

    Bournemouth and Leicester both badly need a bump start after flat-lining starts to their Premier League campaigns.

    Stuttering Southampton have scored in only two of their seven matches so far, while Watford hope to continue their roll on the road after wins away Bournemouth, Southampton and Swansea.

    And the heat is under the West Ham hot-seat for Slaven Bilic with Carlo Ancelotti reportedly interested in a job in England after getting the Bayern boot.

    Plenty of fat to chew among the prime cuts of Premier League action then.

    Blue v Red.

    Pep v Jose.

    City v United.

    The early-season Premier League pace-setters suggest that we could be in for a one-city season-long rumble for the title.

    Manchester United will attempt to clamber back above their noisy neighbours with victory over luckless, pointless, goalless Palace in today's 15:00 BST kick-off at Old Trafford.

    Then the day's, weekend's and season-so-far's blockbuster: Chelsea, fresh from beating Atletico Madrid in midweek, take on current table-toppers Manchester City at 17:30 BST.
