\"Premier<\/p>\n

The first clash between two big-six teams takes place on Sunday afternoon at Old Trafford, when Chelsea visit Manchester United. It\u2019s a huge game for both managers too, with former United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the dugout, taking on former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard, who makes his Premier League managerial debut.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a turbulent summer for Manchester United, with fans irate at a lack of transfer business, despite signing Harry Maguire for a world-record fee for a defender and Aaron Wan-Bissaka for \u00a350 million. Deals for Paulo Dybala and Christian Eriksen fell through, while they\u2019ve been unable to sell Alexis Sanchez and Paul Pogba\u2019s future is still up in the air. With rivals Manchester City and Arsenal strengthening, you wonder where United will finish this season and whether they\u2019ll qualify for the Champions League through a Premier League finish.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it\u2019s been a quiet summer for transfer incomings at Chelsea, who are under a transfer ban, therefore not being able to register new players. Maurizio Sarri left Stamford Bridge at the beginning of the summer and Abramovich moved swiftly to replace him, with Chelsea\u2019s all-time top scorer Frank Lampard replacing him after just one season at Derby County. Superstar Eden Hazard has joined Real Madrid, and with the transfer ban, the club have been unable to replace him. Expectations will be high for Christian Pulisic, who signed back in January before being sent back out on loan to Dortmund. Lampard is expected to use the club\u2019s academy. Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Fikayo Timori have all been used in pre-season and could be introduced throughout the course of this campaign. It could be a season of transition for the Blues, but that doesn\u2019t mean that they won\u2019t be competitive once they take the field.<\/p>\n

Big games this early on in the season are always tough to call. Roman Abramovich\u2019s first Chelsea game as chairman saw the Blues win 1-0 back in 2003. However, previous big six clashes early in the season can fizzle out and be quite dull. I\u2019m expecting goals though, as both managers have said their teams will attack.<\/p>\n
