Matchweek two of the Premier League is upon us. After the explosive opening round, the upcoming fixtures promises to excite fans even more.
The round kicks off on Saturday with an early clash between Cardiff City and Newcastle. The action will continue through Sunday before Liverpool wraps things up with their trip to Crystal Palace. Here are the upcoming fixtures in the English top-flight.
Chelsea vs Arsenal
This fixture is probably the highlight of the upcoming round. Two London giants, led by two new managers, will lock horns at Stamford Bridge with the pressuring to win leaning towards Arsenal's side.
Unai Emery began life in the Premier League with a 2-0 loss at home to Man City. While most fans agree to give their new manager time, a second consecutive defeat would be alarming. Sarri, on the other hand, enjoyed a 3-0 victory on his debut and will be keen on another win.

Brighton vs Man United
The Red Devils began their season with an unconvincing 2-1 win at home to Leicester. Despite the three points, many were disappointed in Man United and will be eager to see a better display. A number of their star players should be fit to start, but Mourinho's alleged rift with Pogba has overshadowed things. Jose must win or risk being torn apart by critics.
