Gary Lineker presents highlights from the Barclays Premier League.
Liverpool's last meeting with Burnley brought a shock win for the Clarets, thanks to Djimi Traore's farcical own goal in the FA Cup third round at Turf Moor in 2005. The teams meet at Anfield for the first time ever in the Premier League with Burnley having already enjoyed a Premier League victory over Manchester United this season.
Having beaten Liverpool in the opening game of the season, Tottenham turn their attentions to champions Manchester United, whom they held to a frustrating 0-0 in the corresponding fixture last season. Stoke led Chelsea 1-0 with three minutes to go the last time the teams met, only for the Blues to pinch victory with two late goals - how will Carlo Ancelotti's team fare this time round at the fortress that is the Britannia Stadium?
Manchester City paid almost 40 million pounds for Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure over the summer and the former Gunners face a swift reunion with their former team-mates at the City of Manchester Stadium.
Hull were the only team that Sunderland did the double over last season - could they now win their fifth match in a row against the Tigers? Blackburn and Wolves have met just twice previously in the Premier League but those two meetings have thrown up a total of 10 goals, which augurs well - for neutrals at least - for the clash at Ewood Park. In the other games, Portsmouth host Bolton while West Ham travel to Wigan.
