Preview

Chelsea and Liverpool have built up quite the rivalry in the past few seasons, but with two relatively new managers in situ, Friday's contest presents the perfect opportunity for a fresh start. Jose Mourinho and Brendan Rodgers have made way for Antonio Conte and Jurgen Klopp.

Per Bleacher Report UK, the former has already confirmed David Luiz will start for the Blues, replacing the injured John Terry in the starting XI:

Liverpool have impressed in attack early in the 2016-17 season, with summer signings Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum both needing little time to settle in. The defence has had its struggles, and Liverpool have addressed those issues by attacking as much as possible.

Conte was known as a defensive mastermind during his time with Juventus, but he's still piecing his Chelsea defence together. Luiz is the next player to be introduced, but the Brazilian only returned to London from Paris Saint-Germain at the end of summer―it takes time to get fully settled in, even when returning to a former club.

Per the Blues' official Twitter account, the Italian expects a difficult match:

In-form Hull City will host Arsenal, hoping to continue their strong start to the season. The Tigers sit in eighth place, tied with Arsenal on points, in large part thanks to two straight wins to open the campaign.

The Gunners enter the contest with plenty of momentum after their UEFA Champions League draw with PSG on Tuesday, however. Les Parisiens outplayed Arsenal for most of the match, but the north Londoners secured a late draw, and those kind of results will always boost a team.

MailOnline's Martin Keown agreed with manager Arsene Wenger's decision to rest key starters this early in the season:

Over in Manchester, the surging Citizens welcome Bournemouth, who have also started the season in solid form and are unbeaten in their last two matches. The Cherries aren't expected to make life difficult on an in-form City team, however, particularly given the latter's attacking prowess.

Sergio Aguero bagged a hat-trick in the Champions League against Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday, but he's suspended for the match with Bournemouth for his elbow on Winston Reid in the Week 3 win over West Ham United. However, when the Argentinian left the pitch in midweek, youngster Kelechi Iheanacho picked up right where he left off.

With Kevin De Bruyne also showing good form, the Citizens have an abundance of attacking options. While he and Aguero are the big names and primary options, Iheanacho is putting up some ridiculous numbers and should slot in seamlessly, via Bleacher Report UK:

Manchester United visit Watford, who grabbed their first win of the season at West Ham in Week 4 and will prove a tricky outfit to break down, while champions Leicester City are in dire need of a win going into their contest with Burnley.

Tottenham and Sunderland will close out the week on Sunday night.
