MOTD - 14th August 2021

Gary Lineker introduces highlights from the opening round of fixtures in the new Premier League season, including Manchester United’s clash with trans-Pennine rivals Leeds United. When the sides met at Old Trafford last season they served up a real thriller, with the hosts running out 6-2 winners in an end-to-end game. Elsewhere, new Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira faces a tricky first match, with his side away to reigning European champions Chelsea, while newly promoted Norwich City mark their return to the top flight by welcoming Liverpool to Carrow Road.
