Tottenham v Chelsea

Kick-off time & date: 1600 BST, Sunday August 20
Venue: Wembley Stadium
TV Channel: Sky Sports Premier League
Sky Bet odds: Tottenham 21/20, draw 5/2, Chelsea 5/2

Team news: Kieran Trippier could be fit for Tottenham after missing out with an ankle injury and will be assessed on Saturday. Fellow England international Danny Rose (knee) remains sidelined, as does Erik Lamela (hip). Georges-Kevin Nkoudou (foot) is another absentee as striker Harry Kane goes in search of his first-ever Premier League goal in the month of August.

Midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko could make his Chelsea debut following a knee injury. Defender Gary Cahill and midfielder Cesc Fabregas are suspended following their dismissals against Burnley, but Victor Moses is back from a ban. Pedro (ankle) is a major doubt, while Eden Hazard (broken ankle) remains out and striker Diego Costa is still in exile.

Key Opta statistics

• This will be the first-ever Premier League match played at Wembley Stadium and it will be the 58th different stadium to host a game in the competition.
• Tottenham Hotspur went an entire campaign unbeaten at home in the league last season - the first time they’ve done this since 1964-65.
• Chelsea have lost just two of their last 17 games in all competitions against Tottenham (W8 D7 L2).
• Spurs haven't lost a Premier League London derby at home under Mauricio Pochettino (W9 D4 L0).
• Spurs have won 14 consecutive home league games; their joint-longest ever winning run at home in league competition (also 14 wins in October 1987). The longest home winning run by a top-flight team was set by Liverpool between January and December 1972 (21 wins).
• Chelsea haven’t suffered a defeat in both of their opening two games to a league season since 1973-74, with one of those two defeats also coming against Burnley.
• The last reigning top-flight champions to lose their opening two league games of the following season were Aston Villa in 1981-82.
• Since beating Chelsea in the 2008 League Cup final, Spurs have won just one of their last nine games at Wembley Stadium (W1 D2 L6). That win came in a registered ‘home match’ in the Champions League group stages against CSKA Moscow last season (3-1).
• Harry Kane’s next goal for Tottenham will be his 100th in all competitions for the club – though he’s failed to score in any of his 11 Premier League appearances in the month of August.
• Harry Kane has scored 18 goals in 21 Premier League London derbies since his brace versus Chelsea on New Year’s Day in 2015.
• Christian Eriksen has been directly involved in each of Tottenham’s last six goals against Chelsea in all competitions (one goal, five assists).
• Since the start of last season, no Premier League player has created as many goalscoring chances as Christian Eriksen (115) and only Kevin De Bruyne (18) has more assists than the Dane (17).
• Since Alvaro Morata’s first season as a top-flight player (2010-11), the Spanish striker has scored more goals as a substitute in the big five European leagues than any other player (22).

Manchester City v Everton

Kick-off time & date: 2000 BST, Monday August 21
Venue: Etihad Stadium
TV Channel: Sky Sports Premier League
Sky Bet odds: Manchester City 30/100, draw 17/4, Everton 9/1

Team news:

Manchester City are still without new signing Benjamin Mendy and midfielder Ilkay Gundogan. Left-back Mendy (thigh) and Gundogan (knee) are both back in training and close to fitness but the next game comes too soon. City have no fresh injury concerns but midfielder Fabian Delph is also out with an unspecified knock.

Everton's record signing Gylfi Sigurdsson is expected to make his debut after the Icelander's move from Swansea was completed on Wednesday and, although he only feels ready to play 45 minutes, boss Ronald Koeman said he would be involved. Ross Barkley, who has reportedly suffered a hamstring injury, and James McCarthy (knee) have not been involved so far this season but Sandro Ramirez could return after missing Thursday's win over Hajduk Split with a heel problem.

Key Opta statistics

• Manchester City lost their last Premier League meeting with Everton 0-4. It was Pep Guardiola’s heaviest ever defeat in league competition as a manager.
• Indeed, it was Everton’s biggest ever Premier League win over Man City, with the Toffees scoring with all four of their shots on target.
• Manchester City are unbeaten in six Premier League home matches against Everton, winning three and drawing three. Prior to this run City had lost four in a row at home to the Merseyside club.
• Everton last won back-to-back matches against Manchester City in May 2011, when they won four in a row.
• Pep Guardiola’s side have lost just one of their last 22 home Premier League games (W13 D8 L1), which was against eventual champions Chelsea in December 2016.
• Wayne Rooney’s last away appearance in the Premier League for Everton was a 5-1 loss to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
• Rooney’s goal on the opening day against Stoke was his 199th in the Premier League, putting him one away from becoming only the second player to bag 200 in the competition after Alan Shearer (260).
• Only Alan Shearer (11) has scored more goals against Manchester City in the Premier League than Wayne Rooney (8).
• Sergio Aguero has failed to score in his last six Premier League appearances against Everton, his longest current drought versus a top-flight side.
• Aguero needs one more goal to become the all-time highest ever non-European goalscorer in Premier League history – he’s currently level with Dwight Yorke on 123 goals.
• Before last season, Pep Guardiola had beaten every club he’d faced in league competition within his first two meetings against them. Everton are now looking to become the first team he’s failed to beat in any of his first three matches.
