The Tigers mauled Manchester United 2-0, before carving out a 1-0 victory over fellow new boys Coventry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hull will now look to join Bolton (2001\/02) as only the second ever newly promoted club to secure three straight wins at the start of a Premier League season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If they win with another shutout, then Sergej Jakirovic will become just the fourth manager to win each of his first three Premier League games with a clean sheet, after Jose Mourinho (2004), Sven-Goran Eriksson (2007), and Arne Slot (2024).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for Aston Villa, they will be keen to pick up their first points of the season and also avoid becoming the first club to fail to have a single shot on target in their first three games (since 2003\/04).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-everton-vs-manchester-united\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Everton vs Manchester United<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Michael Carrick could become only the sixth Premier League manager to accumulate 45 points from his first 20 games.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michael Carrick\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manchester United<\/a> bounced back from their shock defeat to Hull with a 5-2 thrashing of Ipswich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carrick has now taken 42 points from his opening 19 Premier League games in charge of the club and a win against Everton would see him become only the sixth Premier League manager to accumulate 45 points from his first 20 games in charge. Jose Mourinho (49, Chelsea), Antonio Conte (49, Chelsea), John Gregory (48, Aston Villa), Arne Slot (47, Liverpool), and Carlo Ancelotti (45, Chelsea) are the other managers to achieve this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, David Moyes could equal Harry Redknapp\u2019s unwanted record of losing 24 Premier League matches against Man United.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/03181743\/CarrickUnitedLiverpool030526_ID3ED2R0C-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1446257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/03181743\/CarrickUnitedLiverpool030526_ID3ED2R0C-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/03181743\/CarrickUnitedLiverpool030526_ID3ED2R0C-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/03181743\/CarrickUnitedLiverpool030526_ID3ED2R0C-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/03181743\/CarrickUnitedLiverpool030526_ID3ED2R0C-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/03181743\/CarrickUnitedLiverpool030526_ID3ED2R0C-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/03181743\/CarrickUnitedLiverpool030526_ID3ED2R0C-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/03181743\/CarrickUnitedLiverpool030526_ID3ED2R0C-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/03181743\/CarrickUnitedLiverpool030526_ID3ED2R0C-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/05\/03181743\/CarrickUnitedLiverpool030526_ID3ED2R0C-111x74.jpg 111w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-arsenal-vs-chelsea\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arsenal vs Chelsea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cole Palmer can become the third-fastest player to reach 50 Premier League goals for Chelsea.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We should be in store for an entertaining encounter in the capital as Arsenal and Chelsea put their 100% winning starts on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">History favours hosts Arsenal, who are bidding to stretch their unbeaten record in this fixture to 12 matches in all competitions. Chelsea haven\u2019t beaten the Gunners since 2021 and have lost their last five visits to the Emirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the Blues have enjoyed a fine start under new boss Xabi Alonso, scoring three past Fulham and four against Brighton en route to back-to-back wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rejuvenated Cole Palmer has scored in both games, elevating his record to 49 goals in 98 Premier League matches for Chelsea. Palmer now has the opportunity to become the third-fastest player to reach 50 Premier League goals for the Blues after Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (84) and Diego Costa (85).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
