A look at the matches in the English Premiership
Newcastle v Aston Villa
The Aston Villa job must have seemed a great opportunity to Paul Lambert, but for the moment it is more of a trial following the loss of both Premier League fixtures to date. The hosts full-back Ryan Taylor could be out for up to six months after sustaining a knee injury in midweek.
Odds: Newcastle 4-6 Aston Villa 5-1 Draw 11-4
Wigan v Stoke
Having scored six goals in two games Wigan Athletic are looking to record their third win in as many seasons against Stoke City at the DW Stadium. Stoke are hoping their own goal tally will improve with the acquisition of Charlie Adam (right), who scored nine times in his first Premier League season for Blackpool.
Odds: Wigan 6-5 Stoke 18-7 Draw 9-4
Liverpool v Arsenal
A goalless start has haunted Arsene Wenger so far and he faces a team that has altered radically under Brendan Rodgers. The side that started against Manchester City last week was Liverpools youngest since December 2003 and Nuri Sahin, who nearly joined Arsenal, could make his debut.
Odds: Liverpool 11-10 Arsenal 3-1 Draw 5-2
Manchester C v QPR
Roberto Mancini has four from the first six points available and he will not want a stutter before the break for the World Cup qualifiers. Even Mark Hughes might be losing count of how many new players he has brought in: a draw here for his revamped band would be a fine start for them.
Odds: Man City 2-9 QPR 14-1 Draw 6-1
WBA v Everton
A meeting between two clubs that have started the Premier League season with a real flourish. David Moyess side were rampant in their 3-1 triumph at Villa Park and seek the win that would make it three straight league victories at the start of the season for the first time since 1993.
Odds: West Brom 9-5 Everton 6-4 Draw 12-5
Tottenham v Norwich
Moussa Dembélé, signed from Fulham to replace the transferred Luka Modric, could make his debut for André Villa-Boass side, who are struggling to gel under their new leader. Simon Lappin will miss out due to injury but his fellow midfielder Robert Snodgrass should return after a minor leg problem.
Odds: Tottenham 2-5 Norwich 7-1 Draw 4-1
West Ham v Fulham
John Arne Riise returns from injury for Fulham while Dimitar Berbatov was signed too late to, but Kieran Richardson could make his debut. For West Ham, Andy Carroll is in line to feature but Jack Collison is injured and Winston Reid, George McCartney and James Collins are all doubts.
Odds: West Ham 13-8 Fulham 15-8 Draw 9-4
Swansea v Sunderland
Michael Laudrup could hand a Premier League debut to new signing Ki Sung-yueng, but Pablo Hernández was signed too late to be considered for the unbeaten Swans. Adam Johnson and Steven Fletcher are expected to make their first league appearances for Sunderland.
Odds: Swansea 5-4 Sunderland 8-3 Draw 12-5
Southampton v Manchester U
Southampton have lost both their matches since returning to the Premier League and face another difficult assignment, even if Manchester United are still troubled by injury issues. Gastón Ramírez was not signed in time but Zambian striker Emmanuel Mayuka stands by to make his debut at some point.
Odds: Southampton 11-2 Man Utd 3-5 Draw 7-2
