Chelsea versus Crystal Palace is the standout game of the 3.00 pm fixtures, and the home side are a good bet to start the season with a win.
N’Golo Kante is doubtful after picking up a knock in midweek, and he is likely to be left out of the starting XI.
Jorginho and Mason Mount were on the bench for the UEFA Super Cup game against Villarreal but will be in the line-up against Palace.
Liverpool kick-off their bid to win the Premier League title with a visit to Norwich City in the early evening game.
There are two games on Sunday, with Newcastle United vs West Ham United kicking things off at 2.00 pm.
Declan Rice is expected to start for West Ham as they strive to prove that last season’s sixth-place finish was not a fluke.
Tottenham vs Manchester City completes the first round of games.
