Premier League News, Schedule & Standings 2014-15, Week 4; Arsenal vs. Manchester City, Falcao Debut for Manchester United Headline Weekend

The Premier League gets back underway this weekend with a load of great matches.

Here is a look at some of the big games to keep an eye out for:

Arsenal vs. Manchester City

Remember last season when Arsenal was on top of the world and looked invincible? When the team headed to the Etihad on Dec. 14, 2013 to take on Manchester City, many expected a competitive match for the ages.

Instead, they got a 6-3 beating that would be the beginning of the end for the Gunners. After that, something changed for Arsenal. The team lacked the defensive confidence and was subsequently blown out by Liverpool and Chelsea on the road.

Arsenal salvaged a 1-1 draw at home against Manchester in the following match, but it meant little after the psychological bruising it endured in mid-December.

But now is time for a new chapter. And this time, Arsenal enters the match knowing that it will have to muster a far superior performance at home to walk away with three points against a solid team. The Gunners have struggled to score in the first three games and have only managed one win and two draws. The team has also struggled in early portions of matches and will need to find another gear soon if it hopes to stand up to England's defending champs.

Manchester, meanwhile, wants to make up for a disastrous 1-0 loss against Stoke City. This is the game to do it and against an opponent that they can easily dominate. This is undoubtedly the best game of the weekend.

Manchester United vs. Queens Park Rangers

On paper, this should be no contest. But reality is different. Or so has it been for the star-studded Manchester United.

The Red Devils are still looking for their first win of the season (and some consistent goalscoring at that) and will look to earn it at home against a QPR side that does have its first win of the year.

The most intriguing part of this match will be how Manchester lines up. Will Marcos Rojo, Daley Blind and Radamel Falcao make their long awaited debuts? Does the formation change? What happens to Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney? Will Angel Di Maria continue his tremendous form?

All of these questions should be answered but the biggest one still beckons. Can Manchester United finally get three points from a game? QPR will try to spoil the party and avoid being the first team slain by the Red Devils in 2014-15.

Chelsea vs. Swansea City

Both teams enter this match with three victories in three matches. Swansea has done it in a rather surprising fashion while Chelsea has been in a form that is the envy of all of Europe. But will that swashbuckling offensive prowess continue for Jose Mourinho and company?

The big question mark here is the status of Diego Costa. The Spanish international was injured during duty with the national side and was left out of its clash with Macedonia. The injury may actually have been in existence prior to the callup as he was reportedly suffering from an ailment with the club.

Costa has four goals in three games for Chelsea and has been vital to the team's dynamism up front thus far.

But even if he does not play, the team will get a look at Loic Remy who also scored a big goal for France in a friendly against Spain.

Liverpool vs. Aston Villa

Will the real Liverpool please stand up? And for that matter, will Aston Villa sustain its solid start? The latter side is currently in third place on the table. While that form is probably unsustainable given the team's recent history, its play has promised some good things this season.

Liverpool is coming off a dominant display against the ever-fragile Tottenham Hotspurs, but the side preceded that game with an embarrassing display against Manchester City and an unconvincing win over Southampton. It should be interesting to see if Mario Balotelli continues working well with his teammates or if he regresses to his polarizing form.
