February 21st, 2010

Adrian Chiles is on hand with the last word on the weekend's Premier League action, including highlights from Sunday's matches. Liverpool travel to Manchester City. The teams drew 2-2 at Anfield earlier in the 2009/10 season, but the Reds have not lost on their last four visits to Eastlands, including coming from 2-0 down to win 3-2 thanks to an injury time Dirk Kuyt goal on their previous visit. Tottenham's 9-1 thrashing of Wigan at White Hart Lane in November 2009 is one of the season's most astonishing results, and the Latics have their chance for revenge at the DW Stadium. There is a battle of claret and blue when Aston Villa host Burnley, while Birmingham will look to do the double over Fulham when the sides meet at Craven Cottage. Alan Hansen analyses the action in the studio.

February 28th, 2010

Liverpool meet Blackburn at Anfield. It has not been the easiest of campaigns for Rafael Benitez and he will be hoping for a repeat of last season's result when the Reds won 4-0, rather than the 0-0 draw they were held to at Ewood Park before Christmas. Tottenham and Everton come face-to-face at White Hart Lane - the two sides shared a dramatic draw at Goodison Park in December when Spurs led 2-0 with 12 minutes to go, only to concede two goals and then miss an injury-time penalty. Sunderland and Fulham began the season well but have found the going tougher in recent months, so three points would be very welcome for both sides at Craven Cottage. including Arsenal against Burnley and Manchester United's trip to Wolves.

There is just one match in the Premier League today but recent history suggests it could produce plenty of goals. Everton and Hull have met in both league and cup this season, with the two games yielding nine goals. The Toffees won 4-0 in the Carling Cup but came unstuck in the league meeting, losing 3-2, although they did stage an exciting second-half fightback from being 3-0 down at half-time.

March 21st, 2010

Adrian Chiles is joined by Alan Hansen and Lee Dixon for the last word on the weekend's Premier League action. Title challengers Manchester United and Chelsea are both in action in the north-west, with United hosting arch rivals Liverpool while Chelsea visit Blackburn. Games between Manchester United and Liverpool are always highly charged, but at this late stage of the season the fixture takes on even greater significance. Defeat for United would severely dent their chances of an unprecedented fourth consecutive league title, while Liverpool can ill afford slip-ups in the scrap for a Champions League slot. United won't be counting on any favours from Blackburn, who have failed to score against Chelsea in any of their last seven league meetings. Nonetheless, Rovers have proved obdurate opponents at Ewood Park under Sam Allardyce and have already enjoyed success at home to Chelsea this season, knocking Carlo Ancelotti's side out of the League Cup in a penalty shootout.

March 28th, 2010

Adrian Chiles presents highlights of the day's two Premier League games. Lancashire clubs Burnley and Blackburn met at Turf Moor, where their rivalry began 122 years ago. Rovers romped to a 7-1 league win in that inaugural meeting and were unbeaten in their last seven matches with Burnley going into this game. A repeat scoreline was unlikely, however, given Blackburn's poor away form and Burnley's desperate need for points in their fight against relegation. In the day's other game, Liverpool were vying to further their Champions League credentials at the expense of Sunderland at Anfield. Sunderland's form has nosedived in the five months since Darren Bent scored their infamous winning goal in the reverse fixture with a shot which deflected off a beach ball. Conversely, Liverpool's results have improved considerably since Christmas and they will be confident of preserving an unbeaten home run against Sunderland which dates back to 1983.

Adrian Chiles presents highlights of the Premier League match between Everton and West Ham at Goodison Park. Everton's 2-1 victory over the Hammers in November ended a barren spell for the Merseysiders and was one of only four league wins before Christmas for them. However, 2010 has seen them go from strength to strength and the Toffees are now challenging for a European spot. West Ham find themselves in a real relegation battle and needed to get something out of today's game.

April 11th, 2010

Adrian Chiles presents highlights of the four Premier League games, plus a review of Saturday's action. The battle for fourth place and qualification for next season's Champions League continues with both Liverpool and Manchester City in action. Liverpool host Fulham, who shocked the Anfield club back in October with a 3-1 victory in a game that also saw the Reds reduced to nine men. Expectations at Manchester City were high back in August, but opponents Birmingham have arguably been the season's biggest success story. Nevertheless, the Manchester club remain in the mix for a fourth-place finish, and will be confident of preserving an unbeaten home record against the Blues that dates back to 1998. Blackburn host champions Manchester United at Ewood Park. Sir Alex Ferguson's side have won the last four meetings between the sides, and haven't lost away at their North West rivals since 2006. The day's other game sees relegation-threatened Wolves host Stoke at Molineux.

Adrian Chiles presents highlights of the day's Premier League matches, with Arsenal looking to continue their title push against Wigan at the DW Stadium. Arsenal were 4-0 winners when these sides met earlier in the season and have never lost to Wigan in the league. However, both Chelsea and Liverpool have been beaten at Wigan this season so Arsene Wenger's side will know they face a tough task. Aston Villa meet Portsmouth at Fratton Park, aiming to move a step nearer to European football next season. Plus there is a round-up of Saturday's action and a look at some of the weekend's more light-hearted moments in 2Good 2Bad.

Adrian Chiles presents highlights of the day's four Premier League fixtures as Aston Villa look to seal a sixth straight derby day victory over neighbours Birmingham City. Local boy Gabby Agbonlahor scored the only goal in a 1-0 win at St Andrews last September. Chelsea host Stoke at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are unbeaten at home in the league against Stoke since suffering a 1-0 loss in an old First Division encounter in April 1974. Can the Potters repeat that feat 36 years on? Liverpool visit Turf Moor for their first league fixture at Burnley since 1975, and Everton host Fulham. There is also a chance to catch up on all the goals from 24 April.

Adrian Chiles presents highlights of the day's Premier League games, plus a review of Saturday's action. It's the Reds versus the Blues at Anfield as Liverpool host Chelsea. Rafa Benitez's side won this fixture 2-0 last season, but were beaten by the same scoreline at Stamford Bridge in October. Manchester United travel to the Stadium of Light to take on Sunderland, managed by former United captain Steve Bruce. And there's a London derby at Craven Cottage where Fulham take on West Ham.
