Round 4 of the EPL commences with Liverpool looking to make light work of Leicester and extend their lead at the top of the ladder.
Then Eddie Howe takes his sixth-placed side up to Stamford Bridge, a ground where they have had success in the past.
The final feature fixture of the matchweek sees both Watford and Tottenham try to make it four from four.
Leicester v Liverpool
Once again the EPL round resumes with a cracking fixture, as Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool take on Claude Puel's Leicester.
Liverpool have started the season with three straight wins, giving their fans around the globe confidence that this could be the year they snap their league title drought.
While the Reds are yet to be tested by strong opposition, their attack looks as menacing as ever.
But more importantly, centre back Virgil van Dijk and new goalkeeping recruit Alisson have shored up a previously leaky defence.
With Mo Salah and Sadio Mane picking up where they left off, as well box to box midfielder Naby Keita providing added quality, the Reds are looking like a complete team.
Leicester will face an uphill battle to get anything out of this game.
Even though the Foxes have won two on the trot, they were fortunate to get the result against Southampton last week.
Harry McGuire's low drive from outside the box found its way into the bottom corner to secure an injury-time winner for the East Midlands club.
The Foxes will continue to be without attacking talisman Jamie Vardy for this fixture, who will serve the final game of his three-match suspension.
Also without former star-man Riyad Mahrez who left for Manchester City in the offseason, Leicester will turn to their new generation of Demarai Gray and Kelechi Iheanacho in the attacking third.
But with a tough run of games coming up, look for Liverpool to bank another three points and cement their place at the top of the ladder.

After 3 rounds in the EPL season, the Reds are the only side to have kept 3 clean sheets.
EPL Tip: Liverpool to win to nil @ $2.50
Reasoning: The Scousers look to be the real deal this year, with their defence and Alisson in particular more than capable of holding Leicester to zip.
Chelsea v Bournemouth
Astonishingly, Chelsea have had twelve different managers in the past ten years.
This constant rotation should theoretically prove disastrous for any club. However, results in the past, as well as the way the Blues have started under new gaffer Maurizio Sarri suggests otherwise.
Don't forget that when Antonio Conte came in for the 2016/7 season, he took the club from a 10th-placed finish in the previous campaign to premiers in the blink of an eye.
But after a lacklustre second season, Conte was shown the door.
Sarri will be looking to emulate his countryman and win the title with Chelsea in his first season in charge.
With an awesome squad full of proven title-winners, we might see yet another title going to the cashed-up West London club this year.
However, Chelsea can't get ahead of themselves, and need to focus on the here and now.
They play Bournemouth, who have also had a superb start to their campaign, and are undefeated from their opening three fixtures.
The likes of Ryan Fraser and Callum Wilson always look dangerous in attack for the Cherries.
Their speed will be crucial in this fixture, with Eddie Howe likely to set up his side to play on the counter.
Howe has done well at Stamford Bridge in the past, winning twice there as Bournemouth manager.
Don't dismiss an upset from the South Coast side.

These teams last met at Stamford Bridge in January, where Bournemouth triumphed 3-0.
EPL Tip: Bournemouth to cover the +1.5 goal line @ $2
Reasoning: While the Blues have been brilliant so far, they have only won their last two games by a single goal.
Another win by that margin would see this bet prevail, while also accounting for a draw or Bournemouth upset.
Watford v Tottenham Hotspur
It's 4th versus 2nd in this clash, with two teams that have had perfect starts to their 2018/9 campaign doing battle.
Watford have been on fire to start the season, quickly dispelling their supporters' fears of relegation.
Ex-Juventus player Roberto Pereyra has starred for the Hornets, hitting his best patch of form since arriving at the club in 2016.
With big Troy Deeney and rapid Andre Gray leading the line, and the skillful Pereyra hovering just behind, the Hornets have plenty of goals in them to worry Tottenham's defence.
This match represents Watford's first real test, after their three wins to date have come against Brighton, Burnley and Crystal Palace respectively.
If Spurs can reproduce the second half that saw them dismantle Manchester United on their home turf, then Watford better watch out.
Harry Kane is finding the back of the net while January signing Lucas Moura has found his feet with three impressive performances for the North London club.
The widely touted World Cup hangover has failed to eventuate, with Spurs looking better at the start of this season than they ever have at this time of year under Pochettino.
In fact, Tottenham have won their first three games of the season for the first time since 2009.
With so much class combined with an adaptable formation and playing style, Tottenham and their supporters have good reason to be confident of a win here, as well as some silverware in the immediate future.

The last time the Hornets beat Spurs was in 1994, with 10 Tottenham wins and 3 draws coming since.
EPL Tip: Tottenham to win by 2+ goals @ $2.60
Reasoning: Considering what they did to a defense-mined Man U away from home last week, another win of the same margin is looking likely here.
