Liverpool v Aston Villa (Sun, 3rd September 14:00 BST)

Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson has been speaking on Sky Sports about Mohamed Salah. Liverpool earlier rejected a £150m bid from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad for the forward.
"He's one of the best players in the world. It's a hard one. He's 31, £150 million. If you sell him for £150 million then what can you buy for that? They're not going to be better than Salah. At the same time, are they going to win the league this season? I don't think so.
"Do you take the money and try and rebuild and win the Premier League in the next four years. I'm a massive fan of Salah, he scores goals for fun."
