Can Raheem Sterling and Ross Barkley shine in their Renault Super Sunday clashes? We look at some of the questions in the Premier League this weekend.

Sterling's Manchester City host local rivals Manchester United live on Sky Sports this Sunday (kick-off 4.30pm), with Chelsea midfielder Barkley also facing his former side Everton (kick-off 2.15pm).

Saturday lunchtime also brings us Cardiff's game against Brighton - live on Sky Sports Premier League - and we have cast an eye over some of the potential questions for the upcoming round of games.

Can Brighton improve their away form in Wales? (Cardiff vs Brighton, Saturday, live on Sky Sports Premier League from 11.30am)

Highlights from Everton's 3-1 win over Brighton in the Premier League

It has not been a happy hunting ground for Brighton on the road recently. They have won just one of their last 19 Premier League away games (D5 L13), with that victory coming against Newcastle last month.

But they could make that two in 20 on Saturday as 33 per cent of their away victories in the top flight have been in Wales, last winning 1-0 against Swansea in November 2017.

Cardiff currently occupy 19th spot with five points from their 11 games so far, and are without a clean sheet in their last eight Premier League games, shipping 22 goals in total.

Can Huddersfield find the net at home? (Huddersfield vs West Ham, Saturday, 3pm)

Huddersfield got their first win of the season on Monday Night Football, and another will be in their sights as they play another home game against West Ham.

However, they have not scored a goal at the John Smith's Stadium since April, with their winner against Fulham coming from a Timothy Fosu-Mensah own goal and they have not scored more than once in any of their last 21 Premier League games.

Another Foxes win on their King Power return? (Leicester vs Burnley, Saturday, 3pm)

It has been a tough few weeks for Leicester, and they showed exemplary professionalism with a 1-0 win against Cardiff last weekend. After flying to Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha's funeral in Thailand this week, they will play their first game back at the King Power Stadium this weekend since his death.

It is sure to be another emotional occasion, and they take on a Burnley side who have lost their last three Premier League games - although two of these have been against Chelsea and Manchester City.

Can Newcastle make it two wins in a row? (Newcastle vs Bournemouth, Saturday, 3pm)

After 10 Premier League games, Newcastle finally got their first three points of the season against Watford last weekend and will be looking to maintain their momentum on Saturday.

But they will face a very much in-form Bournemouth, who are currently sixth in the table ahead of Man Utd on goal difference, although they did lose to Jose Mourinho's side last time out.

Can Southampton finally win at home? (Southampton vs Watford, Saturday, 3pm)

Southampton are just a point above the relegation spots, and are winless in their five Premier League home games this season with Watford heading to St Mary's this weekend.

Highlights from Tottenham's 3-2 win over Wolves in the Premier League

Spurs have also won more away Premier League games in 2018 than any other side (11) and have taken all three points in their last five London derbies in the top flight, giving them plenty to be confident about ahead of Saturday's game.

But Crystal Palace have never lost seven consecutive top-flight matches against an opponent - they also lost in a row against Arsenal between 2005 and 2015 - although they are yet to win at Selhurst Park this season.

Can Liverpool bounce back after their midweek misery? (Liverpool vs Fulham, Sunday, 12pm)

They will be looking to bounce back against a struggling Fulham side, with Liverpool having won all eight home Premier League games under Jurgen Klopp against newly-promoted teams, scoring 25 goals and conceding just three.

And Slavisa Jokanovic's side are one of just three teams yet to keep a clean sheet in English league football this season - along with Macclesfield and Sheffield Wednesday - and have managed just one win in their 33 away visits to Liverpool (D9 L23).

Can Ross Barkley shine against his boyhood club? (Chelsea vs Everton, Sunday, live on Sky Sports Premier League from 1pm)

It has been a good start to the season from Ross Barkley, who said in a recent interview with the London Evening Standard that he "feels like a new signing" for Chelsea after overcoming injury issues following his January 2018 move.

Sunday's game - live on Sky Sports - will mark the first time Barkley faces his boyhood side Everton and will surely be looking to add to his tally of three goals in his last four Premier League games.

The signs do point to another Chelsea win too, with Everton having won none of their last 28 visits to Stamford Bridge in all competitions and manager Marco Silva losing all six of his away Premier League matches in London.

Can Raheem Sterling deliver against Manchester United? (Man City vs Man Utd, Sunday, live on Sky Sports Premier League from 4.15pm)
