2024.02.03. - Gary Lineker and guests being you all the goals, drama and reaction from the day’s five matches in the Premier League. Tottenham are at Goodison Park to take on an Everton side they have historically enjoyed a lot of success against. Spurs’ 2-1 victory in December was their thirtieth in the Premier League over the Toffees, more than they have recorded against any other club. Sean Dyche’s Everton, however, will be desperate to record a rare win over the north Londoners in their battle to avoid the drop. Elsewhere, Crystal Palace visit arch-rivals Brighton, Burnley host Fulham, Newcastle take on Luton and Sheffield United face Aston Villa.

Info
2024.01.21. - Mark Chapman introduces action and analysis of the day’s Premier League games, as Liverpool make a seaside trip to Bournemouth and struggling Sheffield United meet West Ham. Bournemouth beat Liverpool for only the second time in the corresponding fixture last March, aided by Mo Salah’s penalty miss. However, the Reds won on the south coast in the EFL Cup in November and need three points to further their league title ambitions. Promoted Sheffield United also have an urgent need for points, having been in the relegation zone for most of the season, and are looking to reverse a run of three straight defeats against West Ham without scoring.
Info
2024.01.20. - Highlights and reaction from the day’s two Premier League games as title-chasing Arsenal host Crystal Palace and Brentford take on Nottingham Forest. Arsenal had their Premier League winter break last weekend when many of the other title hopefuls were in action. Mikel Arteta’s side won the reverse fixture against Palace in August, thanks to a Martin Odegaard penalty, but they have only beaten the Eagles once in their past five meetings at the Emirates. Brentford could be bolstered by the return of their star man Ivan Toney, following the end of his eight-month ban for breaching betting rules. He scored the equaliser in last season’s corresponding fixture against Forest, with the Bees going on to win in stoppage time.
Info
2024.01.14. - Mark Chapman presents highlights of today’s two Premier League matches, with Everton hosting Aston Villa and Manchester United taking on Tottenham. Villa thrashed Everton 4-0 when the sides met in August, although the Toffees exacted a measure of revenge by knocking the Villans out of the EFL Cup a month later. Tottenham, meanwhile, will be hoping to complete a league double against Manchester United for the first time since the 1989/90 season. They beat United 2-0 in August. Mark and his guests will also look back at the goals and talking points from Saturday’s games.
Info
2024.01.13. - Highlights of today’s two Premier League games, with Newcastle hosting Manchester City and Chelsea taking on west London rivals Fulham. Newcastle beat Manchester City in the EFL Cup in September, but the Magpies are winless in the last nine league meetings between the two sides. Fulham, meanwhile, have not won a top-flight match away to Chelsea since 1964 but will hope to capitalise on the Blues’ inconsistent form under head coach Mauricio Pochettino this season.
