2023.10.28. - Gary Lineker introduces highlights and analysis of Saturday's Premier League games, as Arsenal take on Sheffield United and Chelsea host Brentford in a west London derby. At the Emirates, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are aiming to protect an unbeaten home record against Sheffield United that dates back to 1971. On their last trip to north London in September, to face the Gunners’ rivals Tottenham, the Blades came close to pulling off a surprise win only to agonisingly concede twice in injury time. Across London, rivals Brentford travel the short distance to Chelsea, aiming to secure a hat trick of wins at Stamford Bridge, a ground they had previously only won once at in their history. Other matches include a crucial match towards the foot of the table as Bournemouth host Burnley, while Wolves welcome Newcastle to Molineux.
Info
2023.10.22. - Mark Chapman and guests are at Villa Park to bring you the best action and reaction from Sunday’s Premier League match between Unai Emery’s Aston Villa and visitors West Ham. Villa have a poor recent record in this fixture, with their only win in the past 14 league meetings coming at home in May 2015. They did at least end a run of five straight defeats against the Hammers by earning a draw when the sides last met at London Stadium in March. Both sides have started this season well, with club record signing Moussa Diaby impressing for Villa and James Ward-Prowse among the astute buys made by West Ham to help offset the departure of Declan Rice.
Info
2023.10.21. - Gary Lineker introduces highlights and analysis of the day’s eight Premier League games, including the Merseyside derby and a London clash between Chelsea and Arsenal. Liverpool comfortably beat Everton 2-0 at Anfield in February and have only lost to their Merseyside rivals once in their past 23 league meetings at home. After another tough start to the season, will Sean Dyche’s Toffees come unstuck again? Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge on a three-match winning streak against Chelsea, who spent £400m on transfers during the summer but have struggled to shake off last season’s malaise in the early stages of the current campaign. Other matches on Saturday include Manchester City v Brighton and Newcastle v Crystal Palace.
Info
2023.10.08. - Mark Chapman introduces highlights of the day’s four Premier League matches, including the highly anticipated clash between last season’s top two as Arsenal take on Manchester City. City have won their past 12 Premier League meetings with the Gunners, including a 3-1 victory in this fixture last term, a result which proved crucial in their title defence as Pep Guardiola’s side held off Arsenal’s challenge to retain the Premier League title. Elsewhere, Brighton host Liverpool at the Amex Stadium, there is a Midlands derby between Wolves and Aston Villa, and Newcastle travel to the capital to take on West Ham United.
Info
2023.10.07. - Gary Lineker presents highlights and analysis of the latest round of Premier League games, with Luton Town hosting Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United welcoming Brentford. It’s been more than 31 years since Tottenham and Luton have met in a competitive fixture, and the Lilywhites are unbeaten in the previous nine clashes, winning five and drawing four. However, Tottenham’s last defeat to the Hatters came in the top flight at Kenilworth Road in 1987. Manchester United last suffered a home loss to Brentford in 1937, and Thomas Frank’s side have lost both of their previous Premier League visits to Old Trafford without scoring a goal.

2023.10.01. - Mark Chapman introduces extended highlights of the day’s four Premier League matches, headlined by the north London derby between Arsenal and rivals Tottenham.
Info
2023.09.30. - Gary Lineker introduces all the goals and highlights from the latest bumper crop of Premier League matches, in which the two Manchester clubs, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs all feature. Last season’s champions Manchester City are at Wolves, who they beat 3-0 home and away last season. Tottenham host Liverpool, a match-up which produced 10 goals in the two meetings in 2022-23. Arsenal are at Bournemouth, while Manchester United entertain Crystal Palace.
Info
2023.09.24. - Mark Chapman introduces extended highlights of the day’s four Premier League matches, headlined by the north London derby between Arsenal and rivals Tottenham. Spurs’ sole league victory at the Emirates Stadium came back in 2010 and they were soundly beaten again there last season. However, new manager Ange Postecoglu has instilled a fresh optimism around the club. Despite now being without Harry Kane - the all-time top scorer in this fixture - they will make the short trip down the Seven Sisters Road with renewed belief that they can pick up a rare and precious win. Elsewhere, Liverpool welcome West Ham to Anfield, there is a south coast battle between Brighton and Bournemouth at the Amex Stadium, while Newcastle travel to take on Sheffield United and Chelsea host Aston Villa.
