Gary Lineker presents highlights from five Premier League games. Champions Manchester United host Sunderland, looking for a fifth consecutive victory against the Black Cats, while Tottenham Hotspur are at Bolton Wanderers, where last season they came back from two goals down to level at 2-2, only to succumb to a late Kevin Davies winner. 

The last five meetings between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Portsmouth at Molineux have ended in a draw, so can either side get the upper hand? Wigan Athletic dealt Hull City their first defeat in the Premier League when they visited the KC Stadium last season, thrashing the Tigers 5-0. Hull lost their star defender Michael Turner in the transfer window but, even so, would be confident of bettering that result. 

The day's other game sees Burnley and Birmingham, two of the sides promoted from the Championship last season, meet at Turf Moor.
