Bournemouth vs. Leicester City
Leicester are one of the teams to beat in the Premier League at the moment, having carried their outstanding end-of-season form from the last campaign firmly into the new one.
The Foxes are currently behind only Manchester City in the league, and as former Leicester striker Gary Lineker hints, they have topped the table after each of their games this season, having each time played before City:
Wide man Riyad Mahrez's goalscoring exploits show little sign of abating and the Algerian has scored four in three games for Claudio Ranieri's side, while impressive new signings Christian Fuchs and Gokhan Inler made their full debuts in the midweek win over Bury.
Per Leicester's official website, Fuchs is optimistic ahead of the clash but remains wary of the Cherries after their win. He said:
"We know Bournemouth have a good momentum and good spirit and that they won at West Ham.
They just got promoted so they'll be trying everything to stay in the league. I still think that we are a good tram and we've had the better start to the season to give us a push. I believe we can win there and I'm really positive about that.
"
The away tie at Bournemouth could indeed prove tricky, as Eddie Howe's team will be on cloud nine following their historic victory.
As the highlights courtesy of BPL Zone show, Bournemouth were ruthless in punishing the Hammers' slack defence.

The Independent's Jack Pitt-Brooke notes the Cherries were certainly the deserved winners:
Back in front of their own fans, Bournemouth will be a difficult proposition for Leicester, but the Foxes' form and superior quality can give them the edge on Saturday.
Liverpool vs. West Ham United
West Ham travel to Anfield with something of a crisis brewing back at Upton Park.
The Hammers looked thoroughly impressive in their opening-day win over Arsenal, but since then back-to-back defeats against Leicester and Bournemouth have offered significant cause for concern.
Further, the club announced on Thursday the departure of captain Kevin Nolan by mutual consent, per BBC Sport.
The Guardian's Jacob Steinberg felt the midfielder was somewhat hard done by:
Steinberg also took to Twitter to summarise the club's worrying situation. He said:
"West Ham haven't played this badly since Avram Grant was in charge. It is not easy to see what [Slaven] Bilic is trying to do. What is their style? What worries me is that West Ham have barely created any chances with good team play. Errors vs. Arsenal, pressure yesterday. It wasn't to everyone's (anyone's) tastes but you knew what [Sam] Allardyce's plan was. Yesterday was as bad as I have ever seen... Yes, it's early, but they look like relegation material right now. Losing to Leicester and Bournemouth at home is what teams who go down do.
"
Things aren't likely to improve for West Ham in Week 4 though, as they will now be without the suspended Carl Jenkinson, as well as goalkeeper Adrian, while Nolan's passion and leadership will be a huge loss in the dressing room.
Further, Liverpool have impressed thus far in the season. The Reds are yet to concede in three matches, including their trip to Arsenal, and sit in third on seven points.
Though they have only netted twice, their attack looked sharp and fluid at the Emirates on Monday and, if not for a stunning performance by Petr Cech, would have scored several times against the Gunners.
West Ham will likely turn around their situation when given more activity in the transfer market. The acquisition of Dimitri Payet is incredibly impressive, but they're probably going to have to wait at least another week to record any more points.
Expect a comfortable win and a strong performance for the home side here.
