The Premier League have today confirmed which of Manchester City's fixtures in October will be broadcast live on television.
Pep Guardiola's side will be looking to win their third consecutive English top-flight trophy during the coming campaign, following success last season.
While City were chased right to the very end by Liverpool, it took a dramatic final day comeback to secure their fourth Premier League title in the last five seasons.
