What happened: Florian Wirtz has another chance to settle into Liverpool’s No. 10 role at promoted Ipswich. Newcastle’s Matthias Jaissle hosts Bournemouth’s Marco Rose in a meeting of coaches steeped in Red Bull’s pressing system. Brighton’s £18.9m signing Chema Andrés could feature against Leeds.
Why it matters: Chelsea entered Sunday’s derby on an 11-match winless run against Arsenal in all competitions, while its defense had conceded five goals. Fulham and Crystal Palace met without a point from their opening two matches, raising the stakes near the bottom.
By the numbers: Liverpool drew both opening matches 2-2. Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Hull each took six points from two games. Fulham and Crystal Palace both opened 0-2.
What to watch: Matchweek 3 will separate the four perfect starters and test whether 13th-place Liverpool can begin climbing.
