City, who had won their first two matches, had to settle for a disappointing 3-3 draw with the Magpies.

The Pep Guardiola-tutored side now sit second on the log with seven points, on level with Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Brighton - all of who have won two matches each and drawn one.

Chelsea, meanwhile, were the other biggest losers this weekend, as they suffered a 3-0 heavy loss at the hands of Leeds United.

The Blues had previously won once and drawn once before they picked their first defeat of the new season.

The defeat now has them occupying 12th place with four points.

Man United, Liverpool push to get their campaigns back on track

Man United and Liverpool will be looking to get their Premier League campaigns back on track when they face off on Monday night at Old Trafford.

The clash comes at a time the two teams are in bad shape, with United yet to pick a single point so far.

The Red Devils' horrific start to the season has them languishing in the relegation zone and only moved to 19th after West Ham's 2-0 loss to Brighton.

On their part, Liverpool have picked two points from their first two fixtures, and a win at Old Trafford could fire them to the top six.
