The Premier League returns for a second week of action and Manchester United will be looking to kick the weekend off by maintaining their 100 per cent record.

United opened their account last week with a 4-0 hammering of West Ham, and they now travel to Swansea City looking for back-to-back wins. The Swans begin life without Gylfi Sigurdsson, who joined Everton this week.

After their shock win over champions Chelsea, Burnley look to win their opening home game as they host West Brom.

Crystal Palace’s new boss Frank de Boer will be looking to bounce back from opening day defeat to Huddersfield, but they face a tough looking task as they travel to Liverpool.

Bournemouth entertain Watford on the South Coast, whilst just down the road Southampton play host to West Ham United.

Leicester went close at Arsenal last week, but they are still looking for their first points as they take on newly promoted Brighton.

The late kick-off sees Stoke hosting Arsenal at the bet365 Stadium.

See below for a run-down on the games, including predictions from former England, Crystal Palace and Tottenham midfielder and GamblingTimes.com columnist Andy Gray and our own Football Insider Graeme Bailey  together with everything you need to know from the bookies – with Ladbrokes’s William Geldart.
