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.

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.
