Premier League: What to look out for this weekend, featuring Chelsea v Tottenham

Would you rather have Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard? The old England midfield adversaries still have plenty to prove as managers, having so far failed to entirely convince since joining their respective clubs last November.

Gerrard has stripped Tyrone Mings of the captaincy and his place in a Villa side who lacked direction in losing 2-0 at Bournemouth. Meanwhile, Lampard this week bolstered Everton with the undoubted leadership qualities of Conor Coady arriving on loan.

Match stat: Villa did the double over Everton last season without conceding.

Bruno Lage’s decision to switch from a back three to a back four led to Conor Coady’s exit to Everton.

It may be a laudable bid to score more goals – at a time when talismanic Raul Jimenez is out injured – but it also puts Wolves’ biggest strength at risk. Aleksandar Mitrovic is already two-thirds of the way to his goal tally in his last top-flight season after a brace in the draw with Liverpool.

If Marco Silva’s Fulham can keep up that level of intensity they won’t go far wrong.

Match Stat: Fulham’s last top-flight win at Wolves was a 3-1 success in 1962.

It seems hardly a day has gone by this summer without Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans being linked with a move to Arsenal but he ended up starting the season in blue for the 2-2 draw against Brentford.

It appears the Foxes can’t buy unless they sell and perhaps Brendan Rodgers lacks trust in some of his squad, seeing as he made just one substitute as victory slipped away. The Gunners made a winning start at Crystal Palace with William Saliba impressive at centre-half.

Match Stat: Leicester have kept one away clean sheet in their last 26 games.

The ability to use five substitutes in a game looks designed to help the big clubs
