Air date: Aug 31, 2013

Gary Lineker introduces highlights of six Premier League games including newly promoted Hull's trip to Manchester City. It is a testing fixture for Hull, who began the season away at Chelsea, and now face another of the title favourites. Their opponents are determined to regain the Premier League trophy they lifted in 2012, and have strengthened their squad by signing Spanish duo Alvaro Negredo and Jesus Navas plus Montenegrin talent Stefan Jovetic. Last season's other two promoted sides, Cardiff City and Crystal Palace, are at home to Everton and Sunderland respectively. Elsewhere, Newcastle host Fulham and Norwich meet Southampton, while Stoke head to West Ham.
