While we are limited to just a quartet of afternoon kick-offs, we remain optimistic of returns.
Our attention will focus on the Emirates, where Alexis Sanchez will seek to maintain a superb spike in form with further goals in the encounter with a regularly stubborn Stoke City.
Having attracted more than 380,000 transfers ahead of this morning’s deadline, the Chilean is expected to produce against the Potters.
Elsewhere, thrills and spills also look guaranteed at the Liberty Stadium.
The scene of an almost farcical 5-4 scoreline last time out, today it hosts a clash between Swansea City and Sunderland that also promises goals. Owners of Gylfi Sigurdsson and Jermain Defoe will be banking on further profit.
Burnley’s clash with Bournemouth and Hull City’s meeting with Crystal Palace provide a supporting cast, with the likes of Christian Benteke, Robert Snodgrass and Tom Heaton on show.
