Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool enjoyed the most eye-catching result of the Premier League’s opening weekend when they won 4-3 at Arsenal.

After last Saturday’s 2-1 win over Sunderland, City have scored nine times in their past two games, with Sergio Aguero and substitute Nolito both claiming doubles in Staffordshire four days on from their 5-0 rout of Steaua Bucharest.

Nolito insists that my “age does not matter” after proving an early hit at Manchester City, with the Spaniard getting off the mark with two goals on Saturday afternoon.

“As long as it’s consistent and it’s from this game to the end of the season then I haven’t got a problem with it”.
