LET’S SEE SARRI! This is our first chance to watch Chelsea play under new boss Maurizio Sarri in a competitive match, and we can’t wait! Napoli were one of the most exciting teams in Europe under the Italian, and if he can get The Blues passing and moving like the Serie A side, this could be a thriller. Can he get the better of Pep NEW FACES! The main man in Sarri’s side will be his former midfield general Jorginho, and the DM will be keen to make a good first impression. For City, how will Riyad Mahrez link up with David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne in attack WORLD CUP HEROES! MATCH has spent the last few weeks wishing the World Cup could start all over again, but at…

LENO ARSENAL The Gunners have splashed out on a top-class keeper, and there are only four Prem goalies better than him on FIFA 18! All his stats are solid, with 85 for diving and positioning, 84 for handling and 83 reflexes! RICARDO PEREIRA LEICESTER The Foxes’ new signing is an attacking fullback that won’t break the bank. With 88 pace, he’s got tons of speed to fly down the right flank, and with 83 dribbling and 80 crossing, he’s got more quality than some wingers! FRED MAN. UNITED Fred is a proper box-to-box midfielder, but he’s got loads of quality in his left foot to go alongside his speed and energy. With 84 ball control and 85 short passing, he can help your team to unlock defences! NABY KEITA LIVERPOOL…

For Stoke, life back in the second tier of English football doesn’t get much tougher than a trip to Elland Road! The home crowd will be well buzzing to see their new-look team under manager Marcelo Bielsa, but they’ll be really worried about The Potters’ new striker Benik Afobe – the lethal £12 million man has scored in his last three games against United! ONES TO WATCH! Kemar Roofe – Leeds Benik Afobe – Stoke SHEFFIELD UNITED V SWANSEA Swansea are another relegated team facing a tough trip to Yorkshire this weekend. Sheffield United won seven of their first eight home games last season, and will want to get off to a flying start this year too! The Swans have had a summer clear-out, so they’ll need their players with…

Felipe Anderson completed 3.7 dribbles per game last season for Lazio – more than any Serie A player! New Arsenal midfield hero Lucas Torreira has a lion tattoo on his arm, which he says represents his strength on the pitch. Fierce! New Leicester ace James Maddison got 22 league goals and assists combined for Norwich last season. Hero! Fulham new boy Jean Michael Seri once said he couldn’t play in a cold country – he might struggle a bit in the winter then! Xherdan Shaqiri was in the Bayern squad that beat Jurgen Klopp’s Dortmund in the 2013 Champions League final... awkward! Bighton’s new defender Leon Balogun plays for Nigeria, but he was actually born in Germany! New Southampton GK Angus Gunn turned down the chance to play for Scotland…

GONZALO HIGUAIN JUVENTUS Not many stars have conquered Spain, Italy and England, but it would be great to see Higuain get the chance! He could be on the move after Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juventus, and has been linked with Chelsea ever since Maurizio Sarri’s appointment! WILL IT HAPPEN? YES ! The Blues have had quite a quiet summer, but swooping for Higuain, who worked well under Sarri at Napoli, would be an awesome attacking signing! ANTHONY MARTIAL MAN. UNITED Loads of big clubs have been linked with Martial, including PSG, Spurs and Juventus! The transfer window began with gossip that the France forward wanted to leave Old Trafford, but Jose Mourinho defo doesn’t want him moving to a Prem rival! WILL IT HAPPEN? YES ! We can’t see Jose selling…

HOW MUCH PREM FOOTY HAVE YOU WATCHED, JORGI! JORGINHO SAYS: “Everyone watches the Premier League, so I have watched plenty of it! It’s a fantastic league – the best in the world. Since I was little I’ve always enjoyed challenges, and for me this is a really huge challenge!” WILL YOUR STYLE OF PLAY SUIT ENGLISH FOOTY? JORGINHO SAYS: “I like playing just outside my own penalty box, receiving the ball and organising the game. Perhaps my style of play isn’t seen in England, but I really hope it’s a good fit, and I’ll be doing everything to make sure it works out!” DO YOU KNOW MANY OF THE CHELSEA SQUAD ALREADY? JORGINHO SAYS: “I know Davide Zappacosta from the Italy team, and I’ve played against Marcos Alonso, Emerson and…

MEGA VERSATILE! Although he first burst onto the scene as a silky winger, Anderson played as a CAM last season. With Manuel Lanzini, Andriy Yarmolenko and Marko Arnautovic to swap positions with, West Ham could give defences nightmares! AWESOME ACCELERATION! Some players might beat Anderson in a 100-metre race, but he’s got a brilliant burst of pace to accelerate away from defenders! He slows right down to draw them in, then sets off again to leave them choking on dust! CREATIVE KING! Felipe got seven Serie A assists last season and nine the year before, so he’s got an eye for a pass – and his crossing rocks too! Javier Hernandez is going to love playing with him! WICKED WORK-RATE! Some flair players just want to attack without tracking back,…
