Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson hopes Arsenal have not rumbled his new recruits as the English Premier League leaders prepare to take on the Gunners today.
City, the only team to have won three out of three so far this season, are looking to keep the run going when they do battle in north London.
Chelsea, breathing down their necks, host fifth-placed Portsmouth, while Liverpool travel to Sunderland, who will have been given a roasting by boss Roy Keane following last week's 3-0 defeat to Wigan Athletic.
Champions Manchester United host Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow, with both clubs desperate for a victory.
United are yet to win this season, while Spurs boss Martin Jol could badly do with three points to ward off speculation he is about to be sacked.
"I think for the first two games a lot of people didn't know about some of our players: Martin Petrov maybe, Elano and Geovanni," Eriksson said. "But we will not have that advantage anymore because the managers show videos about the opposition from the previous weeks. I know that [Arsenal manager] Arsene Wenger will do it so I don't think we will live on surprising people anymore."
Second-placed Chelsea host fifth-placed Portsmouth at Stamford Bridge, with Blues boss Jose Mourinho hoping the visitors feel the sharp end of his attack -- and fail to capitalize on their somewhat shaky defending of late.
Chelsea will have to get the better of Pompey goalkeeper David James, who is in form and reinvigorated by his England recall after two years out in the cold.
"I'll be trying to do what I can to jog the [England] manager's mind and hopefully get a shout," James said.
Liverpool travel to Sunderland who are smarting after last weekend's defeat to Wigan.
"We're at home and we can have a go at them," warned Sunderland midfielder Kieran Richardson. "Liverpool are a good side, they have a chance of winning the title and it will be tough for us."
The Reds will be without captain Steven Gerrard, who is being rested due to a fractured toe.
Their city rivals, fourth-placed Everton, host Blackburn Rovers at Goodison Park.
The UEFA Cup side are determined to make their stadium a fortress, starting with the Rovers' visit, Toffees midfielder Lee Carsley said.
"We have got to build our season on our home form and it is a match that we are looking to do well in," he said. "Blackburn have got a lot of skilful players who are hard working. They are tough to play against and a tough team to beat."
Wigan Athletic, third in the table, travel to West Ham United, who are hoping to get a second win out of their hefty spending on new players.
Latics boss Chris Hutchings is pinning his hopes of an away victory on former England forward Emile Heskey's burgeoning relationship with attacking midfielder Antoine Sibierski.
"I'm delighted with the way we've passed the ball, but with all due respect, it helps when you've got better quality players in," Hutchings said.
Newly-promoted sides Derby County and Birmingham City are both winless and in the bottom three but one side has the chance to escape the relegation zone when they clash at Pride Park.
The hosts hope to have Jamaica center-half Claude Davis fit in time, while Birmingham are sweating on Finland striker Mikael Forssell's fitness.
The two sides have not met in the top flight since 1978.
Rock-bottom Bolton Wanderers host Reading, who have one of the most resilient defenses in the division.
Reading boss Steve Coppell said striker Leroy Lita would be fit to play for the first time this season, while he was hoping all his stars on international duty midweek make it back in one piece.
"I don't like not knowing about so many players," he said. "It's the price you pay, though. We won't complain."
Fulham travel to Aston Villa while Middlesbrough host Newcastle United tomorrow in a northeast derby.
OUT AGAINST INDONESIA: Taiwan reached the semi-finals at the tournament for the first time by defeating Denmark, with Chou Tien-chen beating Viktor Axelsen Taiwan yesterday crashed out of the Thomas Cup team competition in Chengdu, China, but achieved their best result at the top-tier badminton event by reaching the semi-finals.

NO DOUBT: Spurs star Wembanyama was unanimously selected as NBA Rookie of the Year, winning all 99 votes to become the first Frenchman to capture the honor The Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night produced a dominant defensive display to seize a commanding 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven playoff series against the Denver Nuggets with a 106-80 road victory. The third-seeded Timberwolves harassed Denver relentlessly to claim a second straight win over the NBA champions as the series heads back to Minneapolis for Game 3 on Friday. Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards scored 27 points apiece, but the star of the show was Minnesota’s suffocating defensive effort, which knocked Denver out of their stride almost from the tip-off. The Timberwolves finished with 11 steals and 12 blocks, in sharp contrast to
Top-ranked Iga Swiatek on Saturday came through “the most intense and crazy final” she has ever contested to avenge her loss to Aryna Sabalenka in last year’s Madrid Open final with a grueling three hour, 11 minute victory in the Spanish capital. Coming back from 1-3 down in the decider and saving three match points in total, Swiatek claimed a 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (9/7) victory to secure the Madrid Open trophy for the first time. “Well, who is going to say now that women’s tennis is boring, right?” Swiatek said. Swiatek, who picked up the 20th title of her career, and ninth at
Playing soccer and competing for trophies is the best way that many transplanted Hong Kongers and Macanese have found to stay in touch, and to interact with Taiwanese society, said officials at the Taiwan-Hong Kong-Macau Football Friendship Cup, which was held on April 13. Twelve clubs, mostly of players and coaches originally from Hong Kong and Macau, took part in the tournament in New Taipei City. The event is sponsored by the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) and the Taiwan-Hong Kong Economic and Cultural Co-operation Council. Participating teams were from the wider Taipei area, Hsinchu, Taichung, Kaohsiung and other areas. They divided into two
