It's unusual for the first weekend of the Premier League season to throw up such a big game, but today Arsenal are at home to Liverpool (kick-off 4.00pm).

Although Gunners manager Arsène Wenger has brought in some quality during the transfer window, such as midfielder Granit Xhaka for a reported £35m, many Arsenal fans want more, especially in the striker department.

Liverpool have been very busy too, bringing in Southampton's Sadio Mané and Newcastle's Georginio Wijnaldum, together costing more than £60m. Will they help propel the Reds into the Champions League spots?

The 1.30pm kick-off is Bournemouth v Manchester United, also on Sky Sports 1.
