The opening Premier League weekend comes to a conclusion on Sunday, with champions Manchester City getting their campaign underway.

City, who looking to become the first side to win back-to-back titles since 2009, face a tough opening clash as they travel to Arsenal – who entertain a league campaign NOT under Arsene Wenger for first time this century as Unai Emery is the new head coach.

The opening game of the day sees City’s biggest title rival – according to the Bookmakers – Liverpool in action as they host West Ham at Anfield in Manuel Pellegrini’s first game in charge of The Hammers.

The other game on Sunday sees Burnley travel to the South Coast to face Southampton.
