2024.03.16. - All the goals, drama and expert analysis from the day’s three fixtures in the Premier League, including two huge matches between four teams at the foot of the table. Luton welcome fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest to Kenilworth Road, with both sides desperate for three points in their battle for survival. When the sides met earlier in the season, the Hatters came from two goals down to snatch a crucial point in injury time. At Turf Moor, the tension will be just as great as Burnley host Brentford. Thomas Frank’s side have struggled for form recently but will draw on the memories of beating the Clarets 3-0 back in October. In the day’s other game, Spurs continue their bid to secure a top-four finish and Champions League football when they travel across London to face Fulham
Info
2024.03.10. - Mark Chapman presents highlights of the day’s four top-flight matches, headlined by the colossal clash between title hopefuls Liverpool and defending champions Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s side are unbeaten in three previous meetings with the Reds, although they suffered a 1-0 defeat on their last visit to Anfield, with Mohamed Salah scoring the game’s only goal. Elsewhere, Aston Villa are looking for a fourth consecutive Premier League victory over Tottenham, while Brighton host Nottingham Forest and Burnley travel south to face West Ham.
Info
2024.03.09. - Gary Lineker introduces all the goals, drama and expert analysis from the day’s five Premier League fixtures. Title hopefuls Arsenal welcome London neighbours Brentford to the Emirates in the pick of the games, with the visitors seeking their first away win in this fixture for almost 86 years. Elsewhere, Manchester United host Everton in the day’s lunchtime kick-off, Sheffield United visit the south coast to take on Bournemouth, Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace host Luton, and Fulham travel to face Wolves.
Info
2024.03.03. - Mark Chapman presents highlights of the day’s two Premier League matches, including the Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium. City claimed the derby bragging rights last season as they defeated United 6-3 at the Etihad Stadium thanks to hat tricks from Phil Foden and Erling Haaland. The same two players were also on the scoresheet earlier this campaign when Pep Guardiola’s side won 3-0 at Old Trafford, Haaland scoring twice before Foden’s eightieth-minute strike. Elsewhere, struggling Burnley will hope to gain revenge on Bournemouth, who beat them 2-1 on the south coast earlier this season to end a run of four straight Premier League defeats in this fixture.
Info
2024.03.02. - Gary Lineker presents highlights and analysis from all the day’s seven Premier League matches, which have a big impact on both the top and bottom of the table. Liverpool travel to Nottingham Forest, looking to record their first away league win against them since 1984. Jurgen Klopp’s side lost 1-0 at the City Ground last season, with Forest's former player Taiwo Awoniyi scoring the only goal. Relegation-threatened Everton welcome their former manager David Moyes and his West Ham side, Aston Villa travel to Luton and Chelsea make the short trip across west London to take on Brentford.
Info
2024.02.25. - Comprehensive highlights and reaction from Sunday’s solitary Premier League fixture as Wolves welcome relegation-threatened Sheffield United to Molineux. Sheffield United earned a first top-flight win of the season in November’s reverse fixture, courtesy of Oliver Norwood’s penalty in the tenth minute of stoppage time. Nonetheless, no side has ever made as poor a start to a Premier League campaign as Sheffield United and managed to stay up. Wolves are on a nine-match unbeaten home run against the Blades in all competitions and could yet be contenders for a place in Europe if they can maintain their good form since late December.
Info
2024.02.24. - Gary Lineker introduces the goals, drama and reaction from the day’s six Premier League fixtures, all of which have an impact on the top or bottom of the table. Reigning champions Manchester City visit the south coast, seeking to extend their record of having never lost to Bournemouth, while Arsenal host a Newcastle side who beat them through Anthony Gordon's controversial goal in November’s reverse fixture. Other games include away fixtures for struggling Everton, Burnley and Nottingham Forest at Brighton, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa respectively.
Info
2024.02.18. - Mark Chapman introduces highlights from the day’s Premier League fixtures, which see Sheffield United host Brighton and Manchester United visit Luton Town. Three of the last four meetings between Sheffield United and Brighton have ended in 1-1 draws, including the fixture on the south coast in November. But the Blades will be desperate for three points in their battle to avoid relegation. Like Sheffield United, Luton Town were promoted from the Championship last season, and today they host Manchester United, who won the reverse fixture at Old Trafford earlier in the campaign.
