Colin Murray introduces highlights of the day's Premier League games. Big-spending Manchester City host newly promoted Newcastle United. The last time the two sides clashed in the Premier League, City won 2-1 at home in 2008, but much has changed for both clubs since then. Another newly promoted club, Blackpool, will be licking their lips in anticipation of getting the chance to play against Liverpool at Anfield. They have not played in front of the Kop since January 1971, when they managed a creditable 2-2 draw. Liverpool struggled against the so called 'lesser teams' last season and will be keen to rectify that as they look to get back into the Champions League. The day's third game is a mouth-watering clash between champions Chelsea and their London rivals Arsenal. The Blues crushed the Gunners in both fixtures between the sides last season and won 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in February. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has to work out a way of dealing with Didier Drogba after the Chelsea striker scored four goals against his team last season.
