Liverpool started their Premier League season strongly against Chelsea last Sunday - at least for the first half-hour, that is. Utilising an attacking formation, Jurgen Klopp's side came flying out of the traps and overwhelmed Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, but only managed one goal and soon their defensive frailties began to show.
Missing out on Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, both to Chelsea, also hasn't helped improve matters at Anfield, so fans will be desperate to see a strong performance against a side they shellacked 9-0 in the same fixture last season.
New-look Bournemouth were unrecognisable in their opening game against West Ham under former Rayo Vallecano boss Andoni Iraola. The Spaniard is implementing a completely different style of play than what Gary O'Neil had done previously, and is one that sees the Cherries attacking with intensity and purpose regularly.
Kick-off is at 3pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International Premier League TV rights
