The Premier League kicks off for its second round of fixtures on Saturday, with the reigning champions facing a stern early test of their title mettle.

Manchester City host Tottenham in the late Saturday game after mounting their EPL defence in style last weekend.

Raheem Sterling netted a hat-trick as goals from Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero combined for a 5-0 thumping of West Ham.

Champions League finalists Spurs also won on the opening weekend, although not without a scare against newly-promoted Aston Villa.

Dependable Harry Kane scored twice late on to ensure a 3-1 victory in north London after Mauricio Pochettino’s men had fallen behind early on.

Last season’s nearly-men Liverpool are on the road for the first time as they make the trek to Southampton on Saturday.

A first half blitz of Norwich paved the way for a 4-1 success in last Friday night’s curtain-raiser for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Their hosts come into the second round of fixtures off the back of a chastening 3-0 defeat away to Burnley.

The Gunners came away from Newcastle with three points, too, thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s only goal just before the hour mark last Sunday.
