ItÂ’s a massive game for Chelsea in the Premier League.
The wheels have come off the Blues machine early doors.
ItÂ’s now two competitive defeats in a row and they certainly have a point to prove against a not yet settled Fulham side in the late kick off at Stamford Bridge.
Liverpool can continue their good start to the new League season against Southampton at Anfield.
But the Reds will have to work hard with the Saints improving in spades week after week.
Their Mersey neighbours Everton got their first win of the season over Chelsea last time out and could capture their second with an invaluable away win against a poor looking West Ham Utd at Upton Park.
And the rest of the programme is full of six pointers.
Newcastle Utd will need to capitalise on home advantage against Hull City – West Brom and Sunderland are still looking for their first wins and it’s Norwich City against Aston Villa in the 12.45 kick off at Carrow Road.
In the SPL Celtic bring St Johnstone to Parkhead and Pat FenlonÂ’s Hibs are at home to St Mirren.
Shamrock Rovers can collect their second trophy of the season.
In a repeat of the Setanta final in which they hammered Drogheda Utd, the two sides meet again in the same venue in the final of the EA Sports Cup.
Ko at Tallaght Stadium 6 oÂ’clock.
