After a twenty-goal carnival across yesterday's games, today's fixtures have a lot to live up to.
Yesterday saw Brighton cause an upset with a last-gasp goal at the Amex to beat Manchester United, while Erling Haaland showed yet again that he will be a force to be reckoned with this season by scoring three at home to Kieran McKenna's Ipswich Town.
Gameweek two continues this afternoon with Bournemouth playing host to Newcastle United on the south coast and Wolves welcoming a much-talked about Chelsea side to Molineux.
Andoni Iraola will be hoping his £40 million replacement for Dominic Solanke - Evanilson - can get on the scoresheet in front of the home crowd, while Eddie Howe will look to his reliable frontline of Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon to secure a result away from home.
Meanwhile, it's anyones guess who Enzo Maresca will include in his starting 11 to face Gary O'Neills Wolves, considering new signing Pedro Neto, last season's star Cole Palmer, a returning Joao Felix and a determined Nicolas Jackson will all hope to feature in attack.
Those games will be followed by Liverpool's first home appearance of the season against Thomas Frank's Brentford.
Bryan Mbuemo and Yoanne Wissa stepped up amidst the absence of Ivan Toney during the Bees 2-1 win over Crystal Palace last weekend, and Frank's most recent vague comments about the future of the club's star striker has worried fans ahead of a tough fixture at Anfield.
Arne Slot, on the other hand, will be hoping his men can deliver a similar performance to the one against Ipswich Town on the opening weekend of the season to deliver him a first league win at Anfield as Liverpool boss.
Here are the fixtures taking place today:
Bournemouth vs Newcastle United - 2pm
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea - 2pm
Liverpool vs Brentford - 4:30pm
