Gary Lineker introduces highlights from the day's six Premier League fixtures. Kevin Keegan's Newcastle United travel to the Emirates Stadium in search of their first away win against Arsenal since 2001. The Gunners' title charge faltered towards the end of last season and ultimately failed, but with such talents as Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Adebayor they are expected to mount another title challenge this season. Paul Ince returns to Upton Park for the first time as a manager with his Blackburn side taking on West Ham. Ince is likely to receive a hostile reception at Upton Park, after making a controversial transfer from West Ham to Manchester United in his playing days. Another manager facing a former side is Gary Megson, who takes his Bolton team to West Brom, where he twice led the Baggies to promotion. Everton and Portsmouth, both aiming for Champions League qualification, clash at Goodison Park. Elsewhere, top-flight debutants Hull host Wigan and Tony Pulis' Stoke travel to Middlesbrough.
