Gary Neville has ruled three teams out of the Premier League title race after an intriguing opening weekend of the new season.

Defending champions Liverpool began their title defence with a 4-2 win over Bournemouth and there were also wins for Arsenal and Manchester City.

Arsenal ground out a 1-0 victory over an improved Manchester United while Man City put four past Wolves.
