The waiting is over. The new Barclays Premier League season is here and there is an exciting start in prospect.
Liverpool have spent big over the summer in a bid to break back into the top four and they kick off at home to Sunderland.
Blackburn v Wolves
These sides met on the final day of last season with both still unsure of their Barclays Premier League status.
Rovers won 3-2 at Molineux but the result was enough to keep both sides up.
Now they meet again with both keen to ensure they do not suffer another survival struggle.
Blackburn won this fixture 3-0 last season and have not lost to Wolves in eight meetings since April 2000.Fulham v Aston Villa
Both sides are under new management although Martin Jol has already enjoyed six competitive matches with Fulham in the Europa League.
Alex McLeish will need to get off to a good start with Villa after moving from local rivals Birmingham City.
Both meetings last season finished all-square with Villa doing the double over their rivals in 2009/10.
Liverpool v Sunderland
Liverpool have spent big over the summer in a bid to maintain the momentum under Kenny Dalglish.
One of their biggest signings was Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson who could make his Reds debut against his old club.
Steve Bruce has used the money to bring in 10 new players and will hope to at least equal last season's 2-2 draw at Anfield.
