1. Arsenal could parade the Premier League’s longest attacking names if they decide to start with Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette against Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby.
2. Jose Mourinho and Rafael Benitez would renew their well-documented and intense rivalry, when Manchester United face Newcastle United in a must win game away from home.
3. Kelechi Iheanacho makes a return to the Etihad Stadium with his Leicester City teammates, as he attempts to score his first Premier League goal of the season against Manchester City. What a story it could turn out to be!
4. Liverpool are away to their ‘Academy club’ Southampton, and we can expect one of the most recent players to trade both teams, Virgil van Dijk to get a hostile reception from the Saints’ supporters following his acrimonious departure from the club.
5. Sam Allardyce saved Crystal Palace last season from relegation but could be a major contributor to their downfall this term, if Everton inflicts defeat on the Eagles.
6. Watford produced a huge shocker following their midweek humiliation of Chelsea. We can expect the Hornets and West Ham United to be potentially involved in a high scoring game at the London Stadium.
7. Andre Villas-Boas and Roberto Di Matteo were sacked from their jobs at Chelsea following Premier League defeats to West Brom. Incidentally, Daniel Sturridge now on loan at the Baggies was on the losing side for Chelsea in both games, and Antonio Conte should take extra care in protecting his job in this dicey clash against West Brom.
