Everton is one of the strongest hosts in the Premier League, as in the last 6 matches in front of own audience, the team has not even conceded a goal. On the other hand, Chelsea are unbeaten in 31 of their last 34 games against the Toffees and it can be concluded, that this will be a fairly competitive clash.

This time, however, the battle at managerial level will be fought between Mourinho and David Moyes. The rivalry between the red and the blues is very competitive, as in all competitions for the past 13 years they have equal number of wins over each other.
Tottenham hosts a team of which has never lost in the Premier League. The last three meetings between these two teams ended in wins for Spurs and it seems quite likely that this statistics will be preserved. Even without Gareth Bale, Tottenham remains very strong team, which will pursue a place among the top 4 in the league.
After the first two rounds of the German Bundesliga, contrary to the expectations, Schalke 04 has no win. Furthermore, the team performed quite disappointingly in the meeting of the playoffs of the Champions League, finishing 1-1 with PAOK at home. Now the team has forthcoming a visit to the tough Hannover 96 and the chances of success for the blues do not look great.
After two difficult away games against Arsenal and Chelsea, the team of Aston Villa will make its debut in front of own audience for season 2013/2014 of the Premier League. Within only one week Villa players will have played against three of the strongest teams in the league. So far the team from Birmingham performs extremely well and if the players overcome the fatigue of the matches against Arsenal and Chelsea, definitely Villa will cause a lot of troubles to Liverpool in this match.
Another match of the Dutch Eredivisie, which is likely to end in a lot of goals scored is the one between the teams of Heerenveen and Ajax. Reviewing the statistics of the current season in this league, it is striking that 74% of the games ended with over 2.5 goals scored.

Chelsea and Aston Villa started in the best possible way the season with a wonderful win. Especially Villa`s away win to Arsenal was very impressive, as everyone were expecting the Gunners to start decently the race in the Premier League. Jose Mourinho's team also played flawlessly and it remains to be seen, which of the two teams will consolidate the good performance from the first round of the tournament.
The rivalry between Sunderland and Fulham is fairly competitive in the Premier League. However, in those matches Fulham has a slight advantage as over the past 13 years, the team has recorded 3 wins more than Sunderland. Although, in this match the host are determined as the favorite by the bookies, it seems to many experts that Fulham has the advantage.
Arsenal hosts Aston Villa in a match of the first round of the English Premier League. A lot of the football experts expect Arsenal to start efficiently the season, because they retained their full squad and have only one new signing - the striker Yaya Sanogo. Most of the other teams in the league, including Aston Villa, have made considerable transfers and it`s natural that the players might not be well-organized.
Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg performed extremely well last season in the German Bundesliga, ending the championship respectively at the third and the fifth place in the table. Undoubtedly this is one of the most exciting clashes of the first round of the tournament.
Having failed to record a win in their last 12 games of the Bundesliga last season, the team of Fortuna Düsseldorf naturally relegated from the German elite. Despite this frightening decline in the form of Fortuna, the team ended the season just 3 points behind the 15th position in the standings. Undoubtedly, the team`s ambition for this season is to return as quickly as possible in the Bundesliga.
After the first three rounds of the Russian Premier League, Lokomotiv Moscow and Krasnodar have gained 4 points each. Certainly, both teams started tentatively the season, but the pressure on the players of the home team is much greater. Last season was quite disappointing for Lokomotiv and no doubt the team will do everything possible to find a place in the top 6.
In the meetings between these two teams Blackburn definitely dominates, as the last loss to Derby was in 2001. The previous season, however, was quite frustrating for the supporters of Blackburn, due to their favourite team finishing at 17th place. Rovers had great difficulties in their matches as a guest, as the team has lost 9 of its last 10 visits in the Championship.
