Mark Chapman presents highlights from the day’s three Premier League fixtures, including Liverpool’s first home game under new manager Arne Slot as they host Brentford at Anfield. Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp earlier this summer, and Liverpool will be looking to continue their strong home form from last season, where they lost just once in front of their own fans.
Elsewhere, Eddie Howe returns to his former club Bournemouth, as Newcastle United visit the Vitality Stadium. Howe spent the majority of his playing and coaching career with the Cherries, guiding them through the lower leagues to the Premier League during his managerial tenure.
The final fixture of the day sees Wolves take on Chelsea at Molineux. The London club head into the new season with a new manager in the dugout, as Enzo Maresca takes charge following a successful season with the club’s youth team.
Match of the Day 2 airs on Sunday 25 August 2024 at 10:30 pm on BBC One.
