Levante sit near the bottom of the La Liga standings after suffering back-to-back defeats to kick off their top flight campaign. Both losses came in heartbreaking fashion, with injury-time goals denying them any points. Levante were 2-0 up at half-time against Barcelona last time out, but the visitors fought back, and a 91st minute own goal saw the game finish in a 3-2 defeat. 

But, the newly-promoted side looked sharp on the counter, generating more xG than the champions despite taking just eight shots. Levante accrued a total of six big chances, with each shot worth an average of 0.27 xG, to highlight the quality of the openings they created. 

They now turn their attention to fellow newly-promoted side Elche, in what looks like a more favourable fixture. Levante were unbeaten against them in La Liga 2 last season, including a 3-1 victory at the Martinez Valero Stadium.

Lens have undergone several changes over the summer, with key departures weakening their squad. Kevin Danso has joined Tottenham on a permanent deal, while Andy Diouf completed a move to Inter Milan after playing the full 90 minutes for Lens in their opening game of the season. 

Those changes left Lens looking vulnerable last time out against Le Havre, who finished just one point above the relegation zone in the previous campaign. Lens conceded 18 shots and four big chances worth 1.89 xG - they were lucky to come away with the three points in the end. 

Brest, meanwhile, have not had to deal with the same level of personnel change, but their start to the campaign has been far from ideal. Les Pirates were forced to come from behind to snatch a point against a much-changed Lille side in gameweek one, before falling to a 2-0 defeat against Toulouse in their most recent outing.

AC Milan underwent major changes over the summer, with Massimiliano Allegri taking charge and implementing a 3-5-2 system. However, his tenure began with disappointment as the Rossoneri fell to a 2-1 defeat at home against newly-promoted Cremonese.

The result was harsh on Milan, who dominated proceedings only to be let down by wasteful finishing. They created 24 shots amounting to 1.88 xG, but managed just one goal, while Cremonese scored twice from only four attempts worth a total of 0.21 xG. 

Milan now have an ideal chance to bounce back against a Lecce side expected to struggle near the bottom this season. The Giallorossi opened with a goalless stalemate away to Genoa, creating just 0.37 xG. Following the departure of Nikola Krstovic, Lecce looked toothless in the final third - their attacking threat has diminished massively. AC will be hoping to bounce back in a favourable matchup. 

Following their relegation from the Premier League last season, Leicester City have largely managed to retain their core squad, with the exception of goalkeeper Mads Hermansen. Wilfried Ndidi and Jamie Vardy have also left the King Power, but the Foxes boast plenty of depth in those positions, while the experienced Asmir Begovic has arrived from Everton to fill the void between the sticks.

With six points in their first three games, Leicester have scored in every Championship match so far, they look well poised to mount a strong promotion push.

Meanwhile, Birmingham have continued to ride the momentum from their League One promotion, starting the new season unbeaten in their opening three league games to put them above Leicester in the standings. The Blues have benefitted from fresh investment and have been able to bring in Kyogo Furuhashi from Rennes, and Demarai Gray to bolster their attacking output. I expect both teams to get on the scoresheet here.
