    It wouldn't be a bad thing for Casemiro to sit out the first game to understand and watch the tempo of the Premier League.

    Today, there are seven matches alone with early season leaders Arsenal hosting Fulham in a London derby in the late kick-off.

    Before that there are five 3pm games. Will Liverpool finally kick-start their campaign against Bournemouth? Will Chelsea crank up the pressure on Brendan Rodgers and Leicester?
