At least one of the early 100% starts to the season must fall at Anfield, where the tactical battle between Jürgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel, the personal duel between Virgil van Dijk and Romelu Lukaku and the outcome for two of the title favourites make for a compelling occasion. Liverpool have won two of their past 11 home games in all competitions against Chelsea, who were among those to capitalise on the mid-season malaise at Anfield earlier this year, but have started in clinical, resolute style. Neither team have conceded a goal in the Premier League this season. Andy Hunter
