Chelsea and Liverpool go head to head this weekend

Arguably the most awaited fixture of this weekend, Chelsea vs Liverpool is the highlight of Premier League Matchday 7.

Who has got the better '4-3-3' setup

Both Sarri and Klopp have been relying on the flexible 4-3-3 formation so far. And the results have been conspicuous. With high pressing a feature of both teams, it will be an interesting battle in which both teams will try to 'out-press' the other on the pitch.

Liverpool on the verge of a historical milestone

If Liverpool beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge today, they will become only the second team in Premier League history to have won 7 straight league games from the get go of the season.

Two of the meanest defenses in the league up against each other

The Reds have the best defensive record in the league so far, having only let in 2 goals so far, thanks to their new signing Alisson, who has managed to keep 4 clean sheets in 6 appearances.

On the other hand, The Blues have conceded 4 goals and kept 3 cleans sheets. Both goalkeepers have been in top form so far.

Final thoughts

With Hazard on fire right now, The Reds will have to watch-out for him, in a game that promises to be a cracker.

#2 Juventus vs Napoli - Saturday 29 September 2018

<p>
First placed Juventus will play second placed Napoli on Saturday

Over the years, Juventus vs Napoli has established itself as the most fiercely contested fixture of Serie A.

Juventus who are yet to lose a single point from their fixtures so far, will be aiming for revenge against the men from Naples who defeated the Bianconeri 1-0 the last time they met at the Allianz Stadium.

This time Juventus have Ronaldo in their ranks, and after a slow start to the season, he has really picked up the pace. He has been involved in 5 goals directly, scoring 3, and assisting another 2.

The stage is all set for the biggest game of the Serie A so far.

#3 Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid - Saturday 29 September 2018

Real Madrid host Atletico Madrid in the first Madrid Derby of the season on Saturday

Real Madrid host city rivals Atletico Madrid in the first Madrid derby without Los Blancos legend Cristiano Ronaldo on Saturday.

Real Madrid suffered their first defeat of the season as they were beaten by Sevilla 3-0 in their last LaLiga fixture, it has been the most shocking result of the season so far. And there won't be a much better match than this one to make a comeback to winning ways.

Atletico on the other hand had a shaky start to their season, but have managed to climb up to fifth in the standings. They would like Diego Costa to step up and really get onto the score-sheet. He has been wasteful in front of goal so far.

Stakes are really high for both clubs, as is always the case in the Madrid derby. It will be an acid test for Julen Lopetegui, who will need to make sure Real bounce back after the Sevilla defeat, or be ready to face the music.
