An interesting early sight of two teams tipped to be pushing the top six all the way, and a good test for Wolves in the first of many Thursday-Sunday game weeks after they played their Europa League qualifier all the way over in Armenia this week. It's a much shorter trip across the Midlands but a much bigger test.
Brendan Rodgers has lost Harry Maguire but has a number of exciting younger players and promising signings to call upon. Youri Tielemans looks the pick of them and he can hit the ground running after spending time on loan at the King Power last season.
This could be a cracker given how both sides like to play and, although Wolves have had a 4600-mile round trip they're also match sharp after a couple of Europe League games. It'll be interesting to see if that helps them finish the game stronger than an early-season Leicester side.
Home advantage makes the Foxes favourites, with Rodgers instilling a real sense of excitement and expectation among Leicester fans, but preference would be for a score draw that would send both managers home reasonably happy.
For a bet, Jamie Vardy has a superb opening day record and has also come alive under Rodgers, so he's the man to keep on side in this one. He's 32 now but has a couple more years at the top level in those tireless legs and with Tielemans and James Maddison in support, look to Leicester's star striker to get on the score sheet at odds-against.
Prediction: Leicester 2-2 Wolves
Best bet:
Good luck predicting what we're going to get from these two this season!
The soap opera at St James' took an unexpected twist when returning hero Andy Carroll bagged an emotional homecoming after eight years away. As a free agent the deal didn't even have to be done on deadline day, but cynics will say the Mike Ashley PR machine wanted full exposure for the club's recapturing of a cult hero.
Whether that will stop the natives from getting restless is another story, and a boycott is planned for the Arsenal game which will make for a strange atmosphere and play into the hands of the Gunners and their ultra-attacking squad that should be bursting with goals this season.
It's a rare away day start for Arsenal as the fixtures computer has handed out home openers for the last seven years. But if they wanted one away trip it would be to a side they've beaten in 12 out of the last 13 meetings and they look one of the bankers of the weekend to start with a win, despite struggling on the road throughout last season.
David Luiz and Kieran Tierney should improve Arsenal's defence, albeit the latter is not yet available, though it could hardly get any worse after losing Laurent Koscielny. Record signing Joelinton adds to Newcastle's attacking options and it wouldn't be a surprise were they to contribute to a high-scoring game, one which the visitors really ought to win.
Prediction: Newcastle 1-3 Arsenal
Best bet:
It's a sign you're getting old when Frank Lampard and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are in opposition dugouts instead of out on the pitch for United v Chelsea, in what is a fascinating Super Sunday opener between two teams whose young managers have pressure upon their shoulders even before a ball is kicked.
Being club legends gives them both more wiggle room than most, nevertheless this is a massive starting point and there could be a fair bit of tension in the air as both look to get off the mark at the earliest opportunity.
It's a sign of the times with the Red Devils that they're the biggest spenders in the transfer window having signed the world's most expensive defender, yet it'll still go down as a bad summer for most fans after missing out on other big-name targets.
