The English Premier League opening week – The wait is over

The first weekend of fixtures have some good clashes installed for us. Friday all the way to Sunday, no clash should be missed after such a dreadful wait.

The league starts off with a big fixture on Friday night between Arsenal and Leicester City. Two clubs who certainly would like to have a better showing this time around, after failing to meet expectations last season.

Both clubs have dipped in the market and added two promising strikers, in Kelechi Iheanacho and Alexandre Lacazette. The two should start and put on a great show in front of goal.

Saturday has a full day of great encounters. The day kicks of with Klopp’s Red men taking on the Hornets at Vicarage Road, which should be a testing start for Liverpool, who struggled against the lower half of the table.

New comers Brighton, has a tough afternoon ahead of them with a clash against title favourites, Man City. Both them and Burnley have their work cut out for them, Burnley taking on champions, Chelsea, which is another tough asking of Sean Dyche and his men.

Other exciting fixtures going on around the table would be, Stoke taking on Everton with all their new signings. How will Bournemouth square off against a boring West Brom at the Hawthorns?

Other newly promoted side Huddersfield, takes on Palace with their new manager Frank De Boer, trying to make a statement from the offset. His last stint at Inter was a dismal one. He will be doing it all to try and chance that this campaign.
