The biggest game of the Premier Leagues opening weekend takes place at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday when Arsenal host Liverpool.Arsene Wengers Arsenal will be targeting their first Premier League title in 13 years this season after a summer of stability that is in stark contrast to many of the Gunners likely title rivals.We finished second last season and we have all the desire to improve as a team, so we know that we have to jump forward and continue to improve, Wenger said. There is anxiety because you want to do well and you know how important it is.Wenger likes the attitude his side has shown entering what is expected to be another demanding campaign.Maybe this season more than ever it looks like every club has new ambition so it promises to be a very exciting one and a very difficult one as well, he said. But I think we are focused, we have a huge desire in the squad, we are very ambitious and we are humble enough as well to know that it is difficult in every single game to win in the Premier League.Sundays visitors to north London, Liverpool, will also have aspirations of competing for the league title this season as the club continues to build under manager Jurgen Klopp. The German coach had moderate success in his first season at Anfield, steering Liverpool to an eighth-place finish, and emerged as one of the stand-out managers in the division.However, Klopp still has some way to go before achieving the legend status of the legendary Wenger, and spoke with admiration about the Frenchman in his pre-match media conference.Hes a legend, Klopp said of Wenger. Thats how it is. Becoming an Arsenal legend is not the most easy job in the world.I read today in the newspaper that Arsene said he will work as long as he is physically able to. Thats one plan for life! It shows how big his love is for the game and for the work he is doing. He is very experienced and a very good manager, so if we win it will not be because of him.It was a scoreless draw when these teams met at the Emirates last season, but the Gunners will be hard-pushed to keep a clean sheet this time around due to a string of injuries on defence.I believe Per Mertesacker is out for four months and Gabriel for six to eight weeks, Wenger revealed. Thats a bit better than expected because he doesnt need surgery. He ruptured his ankle ligament. At the start we thought it could be four months but he should be all right.Laurent Koscielny has also been ruled out, meaning that Wenger will be forced to pick an inexperienced central defencive pairing from the trio of Calum Chambers, Nacho Monreal and new signing Rob Holding.The Gunners are also missing Carl Jenkinson and Danny Welbeck with long-term injuries, while Jack Wilshere is a doubt with an ongoing knee problem.Liverpool have a number of absentees, with Lucas Leiva, Joe Gomez, Mamadou Sakho and Loris Karius out, and Dejan Lovren, James Milner and Daniel Sturridge facing late fitness tests.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

The visitors controlled the first half on Saturday evening and went ahead through Aguero on 33 minutes, although the forwards effort was aided by a deflection off Gary Cahill.The Argentina international finished a City counter-attack for his second, and sealed his hat-trick from the penalty spot after Fernandinho was tripped by Thibaut Courtois, with the Chelsea goalkeeper sent off as a result. The victory moves City above Arsenal, who host Crystal Palace on Super Sunday, while Chelsea remain 10th with just one win from their last eight Premier League home games.Both managers made four changes for the match, and in a frantic opening, both had opportunities to break the deadlock.Strong defending from Cahill prevented Aguero from tapping home after just three minutes, before Nicolas Otamendi cleared Pedros goal-bound shot off the line with Joe Hart beaten. Yaya Toure says the whole Manchester City team performed well at Chelsea and it was probably their best win of the season Diego Costa had the ball in the net for Chelsea shortly after but was correctly adjudged offside, and after weathering the early pressure, City stamped their authority on the game.Courtois twice denied the visitors one-on-one, as Kevin De Bruyne and Samir Nasri saw efforts saved by the Chelsea goalkeeper.But the hosts did not heed the warnings and fell behind to a rapid City counter. Aguero scored his third ffrom the penalty spot De Bruyne and Aguero broke from a Chelsea corner, and when the Belgian teed up his team-mate, Aguero cut inside and fired home off Cahill from the edge of the box.ddddddddddddWith Chelsea on the back foot, only a last-ditch tackle from Cahill prevented Aguero from doubling Citys lead two minutes before the break.The Blues started the second half brightly as they searched for a route back into the match, but were caught on the break again as City extended their advantage nine minutes after half-time.The impressive De Bruyne, returning to his former club, was involved before Nasri found Aguero, who made no mistake for his 20th league goal of the season. Aguero followed up his penalty miss against PSG with a successful spot-kick against Chelsea He didnt have to wait long for his 21st, as City made the game safe from the spot with 10 minutes to play. Fernandinho broke into the Chelsea area and was upended by Courtois, leaving referee Mike Dean no choice but to issue the red card and award a penalty.Aguero, who missed against Paris Saint-Germain in midweek, sent substitute goalkeeper Asmir Begovic the wrong way to seal his hat-trick.Chelsea had felt hard done by six minutes before Citys third, when referee Dean waved away a penalty appeal after Kenedy appeared to be tripped by De Bruyne in the area.
