Key Premier League matches in September
Fulham vs Arsenal on Saturday, Sept. 12, at 7:30 a.m. on NBCSN & Universo
Fulham was promoted to the Premier League in 2018 but relegated after having the ninth-worst season (26 points, -47 goal difference) a Premier League team has ever had. On Aug. 4, 2020, Fulham defeated Brentford in the Championship promotion playoff final 2-1 to have another go at becoming a Premier League regular.
Fulham's first test will be tough as they will be facing reigning FA Cup winners Arsenal, who just defeated Liverpool for the FA Community Shield. The gunners gunned down Fulham in the 2017-18 campaign 4-1 at home and 5-1 away. Saturday morning will be the perfect stage for Fulham to show the world that they are back and stronger than before.

2019-20 Premier League champions Liverpool will host 2019-20 Championship champions Leeds United in the final game of opening day.

Chelsea vs Liverpool on Sunday, Sept. 20, at 11:30 a.m. on Peacock

The London club will put its firepower to the test when they face Liverpool at Stanford Bridge.
Wolves vs Manchester City on Monday, Sept. 21, at 3 p.m. on Peacock
Wolverhampton had a fantastic 2019-20 campaign, finishing seventh in Premier League and reaching the Europa League quarterfinals. Wolves deemed themselves the giant killers of the Premier League, as they have terrorized top-six teams in the past two seasons.
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have become Wolves' favorite prey, losing both the away and home fixtures last season.
Manchester City vs Leicester City on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 11:30 p.m. on NBCSN
Leicester City ran out of fuel during the Premier League's return in 2020. The Foxes were shaping up for a top-four finish, before lagging in the final matches.

Liverpool vs Arsenal on Monday, Sept. 28, at 3 p.m. on Peacock
Liverpool will have another challenging game to close the month of September when they face Arsenal on Monday, Sept. 28.
These two sides last met in the Community Shield at Wembley, where Arsenal beat the reigning Premier League champions in penalties after a 1-1 draw.
