Sunderland vs Newcastle
These two teams both drew in their first match, versus Liverpool and Arsenal respectively; and they will be looking to secure all three points this week when they face off at the Stadium of Light. In the last 13 meetings Newcastle had the upper hand, with only 1 defeat to the Black Cats, but Sunderland may want to set it right this time around.
Arsenal vs Liverpool
Liverpool are tipped to kick Arsenal out of the top four spot this season and this match may yet prove vital come May. Liverpool comes into this match on the back foot, with only one victory over Arsenal in their last 11 meetings and that victory is not among the last 8 matches.
With both teams drawing their first match they will be looking to go all out for three points to keep up with the early table leaders.
Aston Villa vs Blackburn
Aston Villa has lost only one of their last 9 Barclay's Premier League matches. And Alex Mcleish will want to win his first home match to win over some of the Villa fans.
Everton vs QPR
QPR’s first outing ended in a bashing by Bolton, and the task does not get easier as they travel to Goodison Park. Everton's first game was postponed last week, so with an undefeated record in their last Barclay's premier League match, Everton will want to continue.
Swansea vs Wigan
Swansea was the first team to face ManCity's millionaire team and paid the price heavily last week. But they may look to bounce back against an already struggling Wigan side.
Chelsea vs West Brom
West Brom faced the Champions last week, only to go down by a late winner. Chelsea's new boss, Boas, may just be realizing how tough of a task it is to manage a Premier League team when his side drew blanks last week. However, he will be confident the Blues can repeat last year’s 6-0 rump of West Brom.

Norwich vs Stoke
Norwich started their campaign in a convincing fashion, mounting a comeback to draw with Wigan. Stoke also delivered a strong opener when they denied Chelsea three points. This time however they may be looking to secure all three points from the new comers.
Wolves vs Fulham
The wolves were on the hunt last week and they got their prize, all three points. This week the hunt will be on as they take on Fulham. Fulham start to the campaign was not a very convincing one as they squandered numerous chances, which lead to a draw against Aston Villa. The squandered chances leaves much to be admired of Fulham’s forward line.
Bolton vs Manchester City
The Barclay's Premier League current first and second place face off with each other. They both disposed of the opponent last week with the same score line, 4-0. This week they will both want to continue they impressive start to the campaign. Bolton, however may be a much more of a challenge for the millionaire 's though.

Manchester United vs Tottenham
The Champions will kick off the second match against one of the teams tipped for a top four finish and even the Premier League title. This will be Tottenham's first match of the campaign as their first was postponed last week. Tottenham will be on a high after crushing Scottish rivals hearts 5-0 in mid-week.
The champions will be looking to secure three more points this week, but will be wary they may actually just get one.
