2023.11.11. - Gary Lineker introduces highlights and analysis of the day’s Premier League games as Arsenal take on Burnley and Wolves host Tottenham in the early kick-off. Burnley are unbeaten in their previous two visits to the Emirates, winning one and drawing one without conceding a goal. The Gunners have scored just twice in their past five top-flight meetings with the Clarets. Spurs face a tricky test at Molineux, where they lost 1-0 to Wolves last season, despite hitting the woodwork on multiple occasions. Elsewhere, Manchester United host Luton Town in a league fixture for the first time in 32 years, Crystal Palace face Everton and Bournemouth welcome Newcastle United.
Info
2023.11.05. - Mark Chapman presents highlights from the day's two Premier League games, as Luton Town host Liverpool in the top flight for the first time in 32 years. The last league meeting between the two sides at Kenilworth Road took place in 1991, when Luton held Liverpool to a goalless draw. However, the Reds were comfortable winners during their last encounter with the Hatters, triumphing 5-0 at Anfield in an FA Cup tie in 2008.
Info
2023.11.04. - Gary Lineker introduces highlights and analysis from today’s seven Premier League matches, featuring Arsenal’s trip to face top-four rivals Newcastle United. Newcastle’s home win against the Gunners in May 2022 ended a run of seven successive defeats in this top-flight fixture, although normal service was resumed when Arsenal triumphed 2-0 at St James’ Park last season.
Info
2023.10.29. - Mark Chapman is your host for highlights and analysis from the day's five matches in the Premier League, including the Manchester derby at Old Trafford. Manchester United and Manchester City last met in May in the FA Cup final, when Pep Guardiola’s City side won 2-1 to move one step closer to their historic treble. However, the Red Devils were victorious in this fixture last season, ending a run of three defeats to their arch-rivals, which included heavy 1-4 and 3-6 losses. At Anfield, Liverpool take on a Nottingham Forest side who caused them problems in the 2022/23 campaign. Forest pulled off a famous home victory over Jurgen Klopp’s team before narrowly losing a five-goal thriller on Merseyside. Elsewhere today, West Ham host Everton, Luton travel to Aston Villa and Brighton take on Fulham.
Info
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.
