Manish Bhasin presents highlights of Sunday's Premier League games, as Bournemouth play Manchester United and Arsenal take on Liverpool. The former match sees new United manager Jose Mourinho take charge of his first league game since succeeding Louis van Gaal. The former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss has wasted little time overhauling his squad, and could hand Premier League debuts to summer signings Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Eric Bailly. Meanwhile at the Emirates, last season's runners-up Arsenal take on Liverpool. It is 12 years since the Gunners last won the league - and 26 since their opponent's last title triumph. Arsenal fans will hope the signing of Swiss international Granit Xhaka will give their midfield more bite this season, while Liverpool supporters will be expecting much from Senegalese forward Sadio Mane, who joined from Southampton this summer. There's also a chance to see all the goals and major incidents from Saturday's games.

Mark Chapman introduces highlights of the day's Premier League matches, which includes old foes Arsenal and Manchester United going head to head at the Emirates Stadium. United conceded three goals in the first 20 minutes on their last league visit to the Gunners' home, but should have won the meeting between the two sides at Old Trafford earlier this season. They led 1-0 and had not allowed Arsenal even a shot on goal until Olivier Giroud headed home to level for the visitors in the 89th minute. There was also a late equaliser when Southampton last visited Liverpool, with Sadio Mane levelling the score at 1-1 to earn a point for Saints with less than five minutes of the match remaining. Mane has since left to join Liverpool but a season-ending knee injury means he won't be facing his old club at Anfield today.
