The Premier League is back with a bang this weekend.
Here on talkSPORT we’re bringing you three LIVE commentaries – hopefully full of goals, skills, and no VAR controversy.
The first of the GameDay action comes from Goodison Park at 12:30pm as Everton host West Ham United, before talkSPORT 2 brings you all the action from Tottenham vs Watford.
To round off the triumvirate we’ve got Crystal Palace against Manchester City with the Eagles knowing a win would send them above Pep Guardiola’s men in the table.
It’s promising to be a brilliant GameDay here on talkSPORT but who will be starting for every club across the weekend?
Several clubs suffered injury woes over the international week, while others welcome back returning players.
Here at talkSPORT.com we’ve taken the early team news and predicted each team’s starting XI…
Everton vs West Ham United – live on talkSPORT – Saturday, 12:30pm
Everton XI
With Seamus Coleman suspended, Djibril Sidibe should start for the Toffees and while there are concerns over Fabian Delph’s fitness, which saw him pull out of England duty, he could still start.
Elsewhere, it’s hard to predict the front three manager Marco Silva will opt for against the Hammers but we could see the combination of Richarlison and Iwobi on the wings again.
Moise Kean could also start at Goodison Park.
West Ham XI
We could see the Hammers remain unchanged against Everton, despite a loss to Crystal Palace last time out.
Roberto will definitely continue in goal following an injury to Lukasz Fabianski, while Declan Rice will start even if he struggled on the international stage with England.
Aston Villa vs Brighton – Saturday, 3pm
Aston Villa XI
Last time out, Jack Grealish played in a more advanced role but having seen Brighton against Tottenham, Dean Smith may opt to bring him backwards into a midfield battle where he can better progress the ball.
This would likely result in a recall for Anwar El Ghazi, while Tom Heaton and Bjorn Engels should be fit to play after knocks.
Brighton XI
Graham Potter will adapt each of his starting XIs to whom Brighton face so it’s pretty hard to predict who will be in his team for Aston Villa.
You wouldn’t be surprised to see him name the same side which defeated Tottenham, though.
Bournemouth vs Norwich – Saturday, 3pm
Bournemouth XI
Cherries boss Eddie Howe has settled on a 4-4-2 formation in recent weeks with Dominic Solanke and Callum Wilson paired up top.
It seems they will carry on with this but Ryan Fraser may come into the team if any changes are made.
Norwich XI
The Canaries squad has been depleted for a few weeks due to a pretty severe injury crisis.
Thankfully the club’s social media channels have shown a number of players back in training including Alexander Tettey, Tim Krul, Mario Vrancic and Onel Hernandez.
This could see Daniel Farke implement a number of changes to the team who were thrashed by Aston Villa.
Chelsea vs Newcastle – Saturday, 3pm
Chelsea XI
A number of issues have hit manager Frank Lampard in the international break with N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Andreas Christensen all picking up problems.
A boost, though, has come in the form of Callum Hudson-Odoi starring for England Under-21s, so he may well come into the starting XI.
Newcastle XI
When you have just beaten Manchester United – yes, even this incarnation – you should probably stick with the team as best you can.
We should see Matty Longstaff continue in midfield alongside brother Sean.
Leicester City vs Burnley – Saturday, 3pm
Leicester XI
Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers has rotated his midfield plenty this season and we could see more changes again with the more attacking Ayoze Perez in for Harvey Barnes who started against Liverpool.
James Maddison should be healthy enough to start too having been spotted in a casino while unwell following his international withdrawal.
Burnley XI
Sean Dyche is a manager hesitant to stray too far from his preferred XI.
Erik Pieters could be a doubt but if fit enough will start ahead of Charlie Taylor, while Jack Cork could come in for Jeff Hendrick if he is given the all-clear.
Aaron Lennon will take the place of Johan Berg Gudmundsson.
Tottenham vs Watford – live on talkSPORT 2 – Saturday, 3pm
Tottenham XI
Paulo Gazzaniga will get the nod to replace the injured Hugo Lloris, despite the re-signing of Michel Vorm.
Elsewhere, reports of an overhaul from Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino could see a much-changed defensive unit.
Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon are on their way back from injury but unlikely to start and will only be on the bench if deemed fit.
Watford XI
The Spurs defence don’t like strong players and don’t like quick players so a pairing of Ismaila Sarr and Andre Gray may be the best option.
Sebastian Prodl should return and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Quique Sanchez Flores use a back-three once again either.
Wolves vs Southampton – Saturday, 3pm
Wolves XI
A shock win over Manchester City really gave the club a confidence boost going into the international break.
Ryan Bennett may return to the starting XI, along with Jonny and Matt Doherty.
Southampton XI
With injuries gradually clearing, it will soon be time for Ralph Hasenhuttl to line up his best XI.
For now it’s unclear what this actually is but we might well see Che Adams given another go in the team, while Jannik Vestergaard may come in if they play a back-three.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City – live on talkSPORT – Saturday, 5:30pm
Crystal Palace XI
The Eagles have found a winning formula and it’s likely Roy Hodgson won’t tinker too much.
Captain and penalty taker extraordinaire Luka Milivojevic should come in for James McCarthy, though.
Manchester City XI
No one can ever predict a Pep Guardiola starting XI but with John Stones and Kevin De Bruyne ready to hand him a fitness boost it’s a little clearer.
Manchester United vs Liverpool – Sunday, 4:30pm
Man United XI
With desperate times come desperate measures and whether 100 per cent or not, it seems Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will start some of his returning stars.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, and Anthony Martial may all play but David De Gea and Paul Pogba are out of the match, which will come as a big blow.
Liverpool XI
Somehow, the Reds negotiated their opening fixtures without star goalkeeper Alisson and he’s now back and available to start against Man United in the only major change Jurgen Klopp is likely to action.
Sheffield United vs Arsenal – Monday, 8pm
Sheffield United XI
Chris Wilder is set to name his usual XI for the Monday night game. Unless there are serious injury issues it’s unlikely he will stray too far from his favoured team, which has served him so well.
Arsenal XI
Arsenal injury woes are clearing and soon they may be able to field their strongest XI.
Full-backs Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney are pushing for starts but the game may come a touch too early for Alexandre Lacazette.
