Liverpool goes for a third straight win to open its Premier League title defense when Arsenal visits Anfield.

Fulham hosts Aston Villa in the only other game and is seeking its first points since getting promoted back to the top division, having conceded a total of seven goals in losses to Arsenal and Leeds so far. Villa won its opening game against Sheffield United.
