This Sunday on Off The Ball we're kicking off the new Premier League season in style with live coverage of two of the early title contenders.

At 1.30pm Nathan Murphy and Ireland centurion Kevin Kilbane are at Anfield for Liverpool's opener against Southampton, a club who the Reds have purchased three players from this summer.

Then at 4pm, we will be coming to you live from the North East where Newcastle and Manchester City go head-to-head at St James’ Park.

Dave McIntyre and former Ireland defender Kenny Cunningham will be on hand to provide commentary and analysis.

Kenny and Kevin were at Newstalk today to launch Off The Ball's coverage of this season's Premier League and you can hear them give their tips for the upcoming campaign on this Satuday's Off The Ball.

John Hartson and Owen Coyle, who will also be joining Off The Ball at the Radisson Hotel in Galway tonight, were also on hand for today's launch.
