The new Premier League season begins on Saturday, kicking off nine months of entertainment and top-class action from the most exciting league in the world.

Only 97 days after Manchester United celebrated their 10th Premier League crown, the action begins again as Arsenal take on West Brom at 1245 BST. As well as the Baggies, fellow promoted teams Stoke and Hull are in action too, against Bolton and Fulham respectively.

United and last year's runners-up Chelsea start their seasons on Sunday. Sir Alex Ferguson's United host Kevin Keegan's Newcastle at Old Trafford, while Chelsea entertain last season's FA Cup winners Portsmouth at Stamford Bridge.

United, though heavily linked with Tottenham's Dimitar Berbatov, have failed to sign anyone during the summer, while Chelsea have splashed out nearly £25m on Portuguese duo Deco and Jose Bosingwa.

United will be relieved to start the season with Cristiano Ronaldo still in their ranks after speculation linking him with Real Madrid, though he is out until September with an ankle injury.

Arsenal have added French youngster Samir Nasri and Welsh teenager Aaron Ramsey to their squad, while Liverpool have spent £20m on signing Republic of Ireland striker Robbie Keane from Tottenham.

Spurs have been big spenders themselves, signing goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes, midfielders David Bentley and Luka Modric and forward Giovani dos Santos for about £43m combined.

these few weeks will be testing times for the Devils...Portsmouth, Liverpool, Chelsea away.

even though we can only give emotional support, hope that can win them all!!!

zocoss SG

This match against Portsmouth is not going to be easy... In recently seasons, they have become a side that gives United problems... and without Ronaldo again, its going to be hard... but good thing Tevez is back...

zocoss SG

Last 5 visits to Fratton Park... United have been beaten three times and also held to a draw... Only one win there...

Channel 27 : 3:00 am - (Live)

Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez is available after a family bereavement kept him out of the draw with Newcastle on the opening day of the season.

Anderson will be back from the Olympics but may not be rushed into action, while John O'Shea may deputise for Michael Carrick, and Nani is banned.

Portsmouth midfielder Niko Kranjcar is a major doubt after picking up an injury playing for Croatia.

But Lassana Diarra has recovered from a knee injury suffered against Chelsea.

Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Foster, Brown, Neville, R Da Silva, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Evra, F Da Silva, Fletcher, O'Shea, Scholes, Possebon, Gibson, Giggs, Rooney, Tevez, Campbell, Welbeck.

Portsmouth (from): James, Johnson, Campbell, Distin, Hreidarsson, Utaka, Diop, Diarra, Kranjcar, Little, Defoe, Crouch, Kaboul, Thomas, A Traore, Sahar, Lauren, Mvuemba, Davis, Hughes, Ashdown.

Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp:
"I always look forward to these games and we have a tremendous record against United at Fratton Park. "Last season we did not lose at home to any of the big four. The key is to match their work-rate "Sure, it looks a really big test for us now but I think we are still a very good team at home and we will take some beating. United won't relish coming here. They never do."

Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher:
"It might work to my advantage that so many players are out of the team. "We have a lot of players out just now - and when we are short of numbers, you need to take your opportunities. "There is so much quality in the squad we all know if you do not perform the manager will have you straight out of the team. "But, as we have seen plenty of times before, the manager will stick by you if you do the job he needs."

Jermain DEFOE needs a double to total 100 career league goals (West Ham, Bournemouth, Tottenham and Portsmouth).

Portsmouth and Manchester United met three times last season. United drew at Fratton Park and then won at Old Trafford in the league. But Portsmouth had the upper hand in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. A 78th minute penalty from Sulley Ali Muntari was the difference between the sides as Pompey took another step towards Wembley.
