Kicking off at lunchtime sees the mighty Toon having a chance to go to the top of the table if they can come away from The Principality with a 5 goal winning margin although by 5 o' clock our heroes could find themselves at the bottom of the table should things not go their way! In the afternoon kick-offs draw specialists Everton and Southampton face-off at Goodison Park whilst over at the King Power Stadium The Foxes host The Wolves to see who has top dog status in the Midlands. There are two London derbies with Spurs, still playing at Wembley, hosting newly promoted Fulham and in the teatime game Chelsea host Arsenal in what could be described as the first "six pointer" of the season. Saturday also sees big spenders but goalless and pointless West Ham face high flying AFC Bournemouth in what could be described as The 'Arry Derby.
Burnley and Watford, both tipped by a lot of people for the drop this season, meet at Turf Moor with The Clarets on the verge of Europa League qualification and The Hornets buzzing after their opening day victory. The defending Champions are at home to Huddersfield Town and unless The Terriers find some bite then anything but another win for Citeh is hard to see whilst he other Manchester side visit the south coast and the hosts will be hoping to register their first point(s) of the season over Mourinhos' boys.
Monday sees a clash of the early pacesetters at Selhurst Park and Woy will be looking to put one over his former employers but at the moment Liverpool look irresistible and should maintain their winning start to the season.
Scrolling down the page no doubt everybody will have noticed that Scunthorpe United are the visitors at The Stadium of s**** this weekend but I'm not sure why it is on Sunday.
Anyway that's your lot, thanks for reading and enjoy your weekend!
