The games will come thick and fast now with the Premier League heading into matchday two after a bumper opening weekend.

Leeds United play a top-flight game at Elland Road for the first time since 2004 having lost out in a 4-3 thriller to champions Liverpool in their opener.

Chelsea host the Reds this weekend, while Manchester United are out to avoid a repeat of an Old Trafford defeat to Crystal Palace last season.

But before settling down to watch all the action unfold, why not warm-up your minds with our Opta-powered quiz?

1. Which Everton forward scored a hat-trick against West Brom for Arsenal in the Premier League back in May 2015, but has failed to net in each of his six other appearances against the Baggies in the competition?
