in the Premier League, all 20 clubs are back in action for matchweek three. There’s some looking to maintain form, some looking to right already sinking ships and a clash of undefeated heavyweights. Let’s take a look ahead the more intriguing matches of the week, as well as some of the more prevalent transfer rumors and news.
Last year’s champions take on another one of the nation’s most successful sides, as Liverpool play host to Arsenal. The Gunners have been on a bit of a hot streak recently, which started with an FA Cup Final win against Chelsea at the end of last season. That trophy only seemed to cover up the cracks of what was a poor season overall. It saw them finish eighth in the league, but the cup win meant they still salvaged European play.

This year, though, things are looking up. They’ve taken all six points in their first two matches, though they haven’t exactly been against the strongest sides. A 3-0 win against newly promoted Fulham week one was convincing, but they needed a late equalizer to finish off relegation candidate West Ham last week. Matchweek three sees them face their toughest challenge yet.
Arsenal do already have a win against Liverpool this year, though, as they defeated them on penalties in the Community Shield. Of course, the importance of that competition is often up for debate, but Arsenal supporters should never feel bad about a win over the reigning champions.
As for last year’s champions, they’ve been unsurprisingly solid, also winning their first two matches. The first, against newly promoted Leeds United, was a bit shaky. United managed to sneak three goals past Allison, but a Mo Salah hat trick, capped off by a 88 th
minute penalty, saw Liverpool take all three points. Last week was business as usual for the reds, as Andreas Christensen’s red card before half time gave Liverpool an edge. Sadio Mané scored two in the second half, giving Liverpool a 2-0 win over Chelsea.
With both teams having such strong attacking fronts and Liverpool’s defense struggling early, expect this one to be another goal-fest.
