The Guardian's live coverage of Manchester City v Bournemouth in the Premier League has begun, with City hosting the game at the Etihad Stadium on the first Saturday of the new season. The fixture follows a weekend of surprising results elsewhere in the division, making the outcome difficult to predict, and comes with an added edge as City will be seeking revenge for the reverse fixture last season.

That earlier meeting between the two sides ended 1-1, a result that confirmed Arsenal as Premier League champions. Elsewhere this weekend, Arsenal began their title defence with a 3-0 win over promoted Coventry City, while Manchester United suffered a shock 2-0 defeat to Hull City. Sunderland lost 2-1 to Ipswich Town, Brentford beat Tottenham 3-0, Leeds beat Nottingham Forest 1-0, and Everton defeated Crystal Palace 2-0.
