Kfm Sunday Sport Round-Up.

3 Premier League games down for decision, and a full round of NHL action in prospect.

Manchester United begin a run of three Premier League games in five days today.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are away to Aston Villa.

That's ahead of home games against Leicester and Liverpool during the week.

Villa manager Dean Smith has said Captain Jack Grealish will not feature this afternoon as he continues to recover from the shin problem that has seen him miss their last 11 games.

Kick-off at Villa Park is at 5-past-2.

Before that, Wolves host Brighton at lunchtime.

Then at half-past-4 West Ham and Everton meet at the London Stadium.

The game will see Hammers boss David Moyes reunited with his former side who he enjoyed considerable success with until his departure in 2013.

And the late kick-off at 7-o'clock is Arsenal and relegation strugglers West Brom at the Emirates.

Here at home, there's one game in the SSE Airtricity Women's National League as Treaty United host Shelbourne from 2-o'clock.


GAELIC GAMES

There's another all-Munster clash in the Allianz National Hurling league this afternoon as round one's fixtures continue.

At a-quarter-to-4 Cork welcome Waterford to Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Division One.

The Déise were four point victors when the sides met in the Championship last October.

At 1-o'clock meanwhile newly promoted Antrim host Clare at Corrigan Park as Darren Gleeson's side begin life in the top tier.

Then at a quarter-to-2 Wexford and Laois meet at Chadwicks Wexford Park in what will be Seamus 'Cheddar' Plunkett's first game in charge of the visitors.

And at 3-o'clock Keith Higgins will captain the Mayo hurlers when they host Derry at MacHale Park in Division Two.

The Ballyhaunis man announced his retirement from football back in January after 14 years at senior inter-county level.


FORMULA ONE

Lewis Hamilton will start from pole position in this afternoon's F1 Spanish Grand Prix, the 100th in his career.

The seven-time champion edged out title rival Max Verstappen in qualifying yesterday, while his Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas finished third.
