One round of Premier League games has already backed up many pundits' preseason predictions, notably that Chelsea and Manchester City are title favorites and Manchester United needed more than just a change of manager to arrest its slump.
Strengthened by new attacking signings Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas, Chelsea delivered the best display of the opening weekend in beating Burnley 3-1 away and meets another promoted side, Leicester, in its second match on Saturday.
City was less eye-catching in its 2-0 win at Newcastle but the result served notice that the defending champion won't be giving up its title easily. Next up for City is Liverpool - the team it beat to the championship in May - at home on Monday.
