    Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez: "I think confidence is high in terms of mentality, team spirit and the way we work.

    "We know that we have to win, and with every game we are closer. We are playing against a very good team but we have to approach it with the belief that we can do what we did last year.

    "I have known him [Unai Emery] for a long, long time. He enjoys his job and I think he will do well."

    Liverpool have their fifth win of the season and remain unbeaten at the top of the table. It is their best start to a season since 1991-92.

    Goals from Georginio Wijnaldum and Roberto Firmino sealed the deal before Erik Lamela's consolation goal for Tottenham.

    Mark Lawrenson
    Ex-Liverpool defender and BBC football expert

    Nobody is expecting Fulham to get anything from the defending champions, and their aim will be to have something positive to take away from the day, even if it is not the result.

    By that I mean not being torn apart and creating some chances themselves, but I don't see Fulham going to City and scoring, so good luck with that.

    Prediction: 3-0

    Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling is fit to play but opponents Fulham will be without midfielders Tom Cairney and Neeskens Kebano.

    Tottenham 0-2 Liverpool

    In today's early kick-off, it's Liverpool who are currently leading 2-0 against Tottenham. Georginio Wijnaldum scored his first away goal for the club in the first half and Roberto Firmino has just doubled their lead.

    It was a looping header from Wijnaldum which just crossed the line - confirmed by video technology. And Firmino capitalised on a run from Sadio Mane and a deflection from Toby Alderweireld to poke home the second.

    The Reds also had a goal ruled out for offside within the first two minutes through Firmino, while Mane, Lucas Moura and Christian Eriksen have all come close.
