⚽The Premier League is back with a bang: The first round of the English Premier league season — which kicked off on Friday — saw no shortage of goals and excitement. A total of 18 goals were scored across six matches, with an average of three per game.

Four teams walked away victorious from their opening matches: Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Sunderland, and Manchester City all secured victories, with the latter leading the pack on goal difference.

The first round continues today and tomorrow, with an anticipated showdown between Manchester United and Arsenal at 6:30pm. The Gunners have their eyes set on the title, after placing as runners-up for the past three seasons. Meanwhile, Manchester United seeks to improve its standing in the league and polish its reputation after a shoddy 15th place finish last season.

The reigning world champions, Chelsea, have a tough match waiting for them against Crystal Palace, who have claimed two titles in the last three months by defeating two English giants. They beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final in May, and just sent Liverpool packing in the Community Shield last week. The match kicks off at 4pm, coinciding with Nottingham Forest vs. Brentford.
