The Reds would welcome the characteristic Burnley side at Anfield this weekend as Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool looks to continue his sides bright start to the season.

But against Burnley, they have a tough side to deal with at home (Anfield). Burnley is known as a giant killer as they've shocked Chelsea and Arsenal at some point in prevision seasons.

And the fact that they are resolute in defending makes it a big battle to look forward to in earnest.

Both giants would look horns at the weekend as hostility returns at the Emirates Stadium.

The North London club would want to beat arch-rivals Chelsea but it will not come easy as we know owing to the record (not too good) Arsenal have against the Blues.

The quality in the Blues squad has even made it worse as Thomas Tuchel could set to unleash the physical Lukaku against the feeble looking Arsenal defenders.

Tammy Abraham may have been in the news following his departure to AS Roma but Chelsea would not be distracted knowing the importance of this match as regards their season confidence.

Arsenal would do it all to avoid a defeat as the job of Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is up in the air following the loss to Brentford City last week.

A lot is expected from both sides as they gear towards this match especially as Nuno Espirito Santos returns to town to face his former side in the dugout.

It promises to be interesting to note the kind of reception the manager will receive at Wolves as he's galvanized the club into an amazing football unit.

Will the Spurs target man get to feature from the start or on the bench.
