MOTD2 - 24th August 2014

Mark Chapman introduces highlights of the day's three Premier League games, which see Tottenham host Queens Park Rangers, Hull City face Stoke City and Sunderland take on Manchester United. Tottenham's game against QPR sees Rangers boss Harry Redknapp return to White Hart Lane for the first time since being sacked by Spurs in 2012. Tottenham have struggled to replace Redknapp, with successors Andre Villas-Boas and Tim Sherwood also eventually deemed surplus to requirements. Sherwood's departure in May saw Mauricio Pochettino appointed Spurs' current boss and this will be the Argentine's first competitive home match at White Hart Lane. Another recent managerial appointment, Manchester United's Louis van Gaal, takes his side to the Stadium of Light to face Sunderland. The Dutchman guided his native country to a third-place finish at the 2014 World Cup before taking over the Red Devils, who ended a disappointing seventh in last season's Premier League.
