    We want to know which injury-hit players you think could’ve done so much more...

    Marc: The original Ronaldo! Without doubt would have been the greatest striker ever, if it wasn’t for injuries.

    Rob: Steve Coppell whilst at Manchester United. Bryan Robson with that dislocated shoulder too!

    Chris: Footballers whose potential went unfulfilled due to injury, former Crystal Palace striker Matt Hansen.

    Dion Dublin
    Former England striker on Football Focus

    "Newcastle are out of luck and they just can't do anything right. They are trying to do the right thing.

    "We are not Newcastle fans, and they will be thinking 'you don't know'. But from what we see, they are putting a shift in. They are just not getting it right at the right time and finishing the chances they are creating."

    We've already had one game in the Premier League for this round of matches, with Newcastle drawing 1-1 at home with Leeds.

    It was a cracking game, to be fair. You can read what our man Alistair Magowan thought of it here.

    Man City v Southampton (15:00 BST)

    Manchester City have named the same starting line-up in their last three league matches but Aymeric Laporte's groin problem means boss Pep Guardiola will have to make at least one change.

    Kevin de Bruyne and Phil Foden returned from injury in midweek but John Stones is ruled out because of a muscle issue.

    Theo Walcott and Stuart Armstrong are again absent for Southampton.

    Forward Shane Long, who tested positive for Covid-19 earlier this month, is back in contention.

    Will Smallbone has resumed training but lacks match fitness after nine months out with a knee injury.

    Crystal Palace summer signings Odsonne Edouard, Michael Olise and Will Hughes are all pushing for a first start.
