After the opening whistle on August 5 in the match between Arsenal and Crystal Palace, the 38 rounds of the best soccer league in the world, the Premier League, will take place over the next 9 months, specifically until May 28. All this, with the break for the Qatar 2022 World Cup from November 12 to December 18.
Now then, this weekend we will have matchday 3 in the Premier League, with Manchester City and Arsenal rubbing shoulders to be the lone leader of the overall standings, both with 6 points with two consecutive victories.
On the opposite side of the table, we have Everton, West Ham, and Manchester United who are in serious trouble, as they are in the relegation zone and have a lot of hard work to do on the road if they want to improve their level of play.
The match that kicks off the third round of the Premier League will be between Tottenham and Wolves this Saturday. Meanwhile, the one that will grab all the spotlight in this matchday will undoubtedly be Manchester United vs. Liverpool.
Now, below, we will have a summary of the best matches that we can enjoy in this third round of the Premier League.

The match that will start this new round will be between Tottenham and Wolves, which will be played this Saturday, August 20, 2022, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 05:30 am ET.
The Spurs come in undefeated with a win and a draw in their first two official appearances of the new season. Despite this record, we have seen a Tottenham with a very high level of play, which has them considered as one of the main candidates to face Manchester City this season.
Currently, Tottenham is in fourth place in the overall standings with 4 points, just 2 points behind leaders Arsenal and Manchester City.
On the other hand, the Wolves have not started in the best possible way in this 2022-23 Premier League season. They have only managed to accumulate 1 point out of 6 played and, because of this, they are placed at #14 in the overall standings.
Wolves knows that it must take advantage of this moment that the season is starting to get as many victories as possible to fight to be in the top 5 of the standings.

This Saturday, August 20, we will have a very interesting match between Leeds and Chelsea, which will be played at Elland Road, home of Leeds.
After the vibrant match against Tottenham, Chelsea faces this third round of the Premier League against an opponent that does not promise to be easy, Leeds United.
The Blues know that they must look to score a lot of points in these first matches, as the stumbles at the beginning of the season could affect them when fighting for the title of champions.
Chelsea achieved a very good victory in the first match against Everton, with a score of 1-0, and in their last match, they drew 2-2 against Tottenham.
On the other hand, Leeds is surprising everyone at the start of the season with a win in the first game against the Wolves with a score of 2-1 and a 2-2 draw away against Southampton.
Leeds wants to be a solid team and, as seen in the last seasons, their level of play increases playing at home. That is why Chelsea must play a game bordering on perfection if they want to take the victory.
Leeds vs. Chelsea Betting Pick: Chelsea

The Premier League is heading into matchday three, where the main favorites for the title will be looking for valuable points as they chase Manchester City and Arsenal, the only clubs to have won in the previous two matchdays.
Precisely the protagonists of this match are the Citizens, who will travel to St. James Park to take on Newcastle this Sunday, August 21, 2022.
The reigning Premier League champions, Manchester City have only waited for 2 matchdays to take the top spot in the overall standings. We know the ability and the level of play that Pep Guardiola has, but any Premier League team needs to start taking advantage from the beginning of the season.
In the first match of the campaign, City beat West Ham 2-0 with a double from Erling Haaland, while in the second matchday, they overcame Bournemouth 4-0.
On the other hand, Newcastle has finally started to bear the fruits of what has been one of the richest acquisitions in the history of soccer, as they achieved a very good victory in their season debut against Nottingham Forest, with a 2-0 score, and a goalless draw in their visit to Brighton.
The objective will be to maintain the good level shown in the opening game at St. James’ Park as the aforementioned 2-0 win over Forest, but it will be much more difficult to beat the reigning champions than a newly promoted team.
Newcastle vs. Manchester City Betting Pick: Manchester City
Premier League Matchday 3: Liverpool vs. Manchester United
When: Monday, August 22 at 03:00 pm ET
Moneyline odds: Liverpool -166 / Manchester United +400 (Source: MyBookie.ag)

Finally, we will have what will be a truly great game to close matchday 3 of the Premier League, when Manchester United welcomes Liverpool to the legendary Old Trafford Stadium this Monday, August 22, 2022.
Manchester United welcomes their eternal English rivals, Liverpool, at the worst possible time, after a humiliating 4-0 defeat against Brentford and falling to the bottom of the English first division table.
Erik Ten Hag has not yet found the key to getting the best out of this squad, which has been reinforced with important players in the summer and hopes to continue doing so to get out of the pit. It should be noted that Manchester United has one more concern, the situation of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is more out than in.
On the other hand, Liverpool has not been able to get a win at the beginning of the season and has accumulated draws against Fulham away (2-2) and Crystal Palace at Anfield (1-1). In addition, they will not be able to count on their star signing, Darwin Núñez, after being sent off in the last home game for the aggression against Andersen.
The Uruguayan Núñez must know how to control his emotions in a league as physical as the Premier League if he wants to be an important player in a club like Liverpool.
Liverpool vs. Manchester United Betting Pick: Liverpool
