The unbeaten Chelsea and Liverpool will face Saturday at Stamford Bridge in the biggest clash of the season in the Premier League. Liverpool Juergen Klopp won all six league games, while Chelsea's winning streak ended with a goalless draw at West Ham on Sunday. But Chelsea had the psychological boost of a midweek victory over Liverpool in the League Cup, although both teams made eight changes.
Klopp knows that Chelsea winger Eden Hazard, who scored a brilliant solo winner after being replaced in the second half, is the biggest threat to the team's perfect start. The Belgian was one of the few players to have had a successful World Cup to make an impressive start to the season and he thinks the victory in the League Cup will stimulate the Blues.
"This result will give us more confidence because we drew with West Ham a few days ago," said Hazard. "But Saturday's game is more important. We must try to beat Liverpool. Liverpool has won only one of his last five Premier League games with Chelsea, including losing 1-0 in his last match at Stamford Bridge in May.
On Saturday, the Manchester City champions, unbeaten with five wins and one draw, will watch with interest. Pep Guardiola's team will expect to earn another three points when they welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Etihad. Dale Stephens (hamstring) and Pascal Gross (ankle) are excluded from Chris Hughton's team.
Manchester United had another week of testing after their 1-1 draw at home against promoted Wolverhampton. The Wanderers have been eliminated from the League Cup by the Derby County Championship. To these disappointing results was added the persistent tension between manager Jose Mourinho and French midfielder Paul Pogba.
United will now face a tough trip to the capital to face West Ham United at London Stadium – the Hammers' draw with Chelsea after their victory at Everton has surely given them the conviction that they could be the last to add to Mourinho's problems. . Tottenham moves north to face Hudddersfield Town's bottom club while Arsenal faces fourth, Watford, who has won four of his first matches.
