Three teams on Saturday go into action looking to maintain their winning starts to the new season.
Chelsea, Tottenham and Bournemouth all recorded three points on the opening weekend.
New Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri takes charge of his first home game as they host capital rivals Arsenal, whose boss Unai Emery goes in search of his first point after opening with defeat to champions Manchester City.
Tottenham sealed victory at Newcastle in their opener, and they host Fulham at Wembley looking for back-to-back wins in the opener.
Bournemouth look for six points with a trip to West Ham – who are looking to bounce back from their mauling at the hands of Liverpool in their opening clash.
The opening game of the weekend sees newly promoted Cardiff open their home campaign by hosting Newcastle at lunch-time – both lost last week.
Marco Silva’s first game at Goodison Park sees The Toffees take on Southampton, whilst the other game on Saturday sees Leicester host Midlands rivals Wolves.
