Matchweek 2: THE PREMIER LEAGUE
premierleague
The second Matchweek of the new Barclays Premier League season is upon us already with a London derby kicking off the action, Aston Villa facing another tricky fixture late on Saturday and a fascinating Bank Holiday Monday encounter between Manchester United and Chelsea.
Arsenal will hope to bounce back from their opening defeat by Aston Villa on Saturday lunchtime when they make the short trip across London to Fulham, while in the Saturday evening kick-off Liverpool must find away to silence the division's leading scorer Christian Benteke, who has scored three goals in his last two matches against the Gunners and Chelsea.
The fixture that really catches the eye in Matchweek 2, however, is Monday night's clash at Old Trafford between the defending champions Man United and Jose Mourinho's early pacesetters.
