Episode 10: November 3rd, 2013
Mark Chapman presents highlights from the Premier League, plus a look back at Saturday's goals. While the fixture list might be relatively quiet, with just two games, the day's action is sure to be explosive with South Wales rivals Cardiff and Swansea going head-to-head. The clash at the Cardiff City Stadium is the first-ever top-flight meeting of the two sides. Elsewhere Everton take on Tottenham in what is, if last season is anything to go by, sure to be an equally entertaining encounter. Two stoppage-time goals earned the Toffees a last-gasp 2-1 victory last term, and new Everton boss Roberto Martinez will be after more of the same as he looks to build on his side's impressive start to this campaign.
Episode 12: November 24th 2013
Mark Chapman presents highlights from the day's Premier League matches, with Manchester City playing Tottenham and Cardiff City hosting Manchester United. Manchester City and Tottenham were the Premier League's two biggest spenders this summer, shelling out in the region of £200m to strengthen their squads. The signings of Alvaro Negredo, Jesus Navas, Fernandinho and Stevan Jovetic underlined City's intention to reclaim the title they won in 2011-12. Spurs, meanwhile, purchased Erik Lamela, Christian Eriksen and Roberto Soldado in order to compensate for the loss of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid. Manchester United are the reigning Premier League champions, but the Red Devils are looking to recover from a slow start to the season under manager David Moyes. They can expect a difficult test away to Cardiff, who have already beaten Manchester City on home turf this season. Mark and guests will also look back at the goals from Saturday's seven matches.

Episode 9: October 27th, 2013
Mark Chapman presents highlights from a busy day of Premier League action. With Jose Mourinho having replaced Manuel Pellegrini as Real Madrid manager, the two now do battle in the Premier League, with Mourinho's Chelsea hosting Pellegrini's Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. Sunderland meet Newcastle in the Tyne-Wear derby at the Stadium of Light, with the Black Cats desperate for points after a wretched start to the season. Tottenham's form has been encouraging so far in this campaign, and the London side were aiming to rack up another three points against newly-promoted Hull City. The day's other fixture pits Swansea against West Ham at the Liberty Stadium.
Episode 13: December 1st 2013
In the lunchtime kick-off, there was a mouth-watering clash as Tottenham welcomed champions Manchester United to White Hart Lane. Traditionally this fixture has served up some memorable matches over the years and it is one that has been dominated by the Red Devils. Tottenham have not beaten United at home in the league for 12 matches in a run stretching back to 2001. However, given the indifferent start to the season made by David Moyes' side, Spurs will fancy their chances of pulling off a rare victory. Elsewhere, Chelsea host Southampton in an intriguing-looking encounter. The Saints took four points off the Blues last season, including an impressive 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge. Also in action are Hull, who host Liverpool at the KC Stadium, and Manchester City take on Swansea at the Etihad.
Episode 8: October 20th, 2013
Mark Chapman introduces highlights of the Premier League match between Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur at Villa Park. The home side are looking to make amends for their 4-0 defeat to Spurs in the League Cup third round last month. Goals from Paulinho, Nacer Chadli and a brace from Jermain Defoe gave the visitors a comfortable win, although the hosts were controversially denied a clear-cut penalty early in the second half. Tottenham also won 4-0 on their last Premier League visit to Villa Park, with Gareth Bale scoring a hat-trick. The Welshman has since left White Hart Lane to join Real Madrid, but the Londoners have reinvested the proceeds from his sale, purchasing exciting talents such as Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela. So despite Bale's departure, Andre Villas-Boas' side have high hopes of breaking into the top four this season. Mark and guests also look back at the goals from Saturday's eight matches.
Episode 14: December 8th 2013
Mark Chapman introduces highlights of the day's two Premier League matches, plus the rest of the top-flight goals, with analysis from Alan Hansen and Danny Mills. Arsenal were looking to continue their title push against Everton in the pick of Sunday's fixtures. Last season's clash at the Emirates came in April, with a 0-0 draw doing neither team any favours in their battle for Champions League qualification. Elsewhere, Fulham take on Aston Villa. Villa were in the midst of their worst top- flight start since 1986 when they lost 1-0 at Fulham last season. Both sides have endured a tough opening to this campaign, and will be equally desperate for three points at Craven Cottage.
Episode 7: October 6th, 2013
Mark Chapman presents highlights from all four of Sunday's Premier League fixtures. Jose Mourinho's Chelsea head to Norwich in one of two early kick-offs, while Southampton welcome Swansea in the other clash. Tottenham then entertain West Ham without a key man from last year's 3-1 win in the corresponding fixture - the world's most expensive footballer, Gareth Bale, recently departed to Real Madrid for £85.3 million. Their north London rivals Arsenal are also in action on a busy afternoon for the capital's sides, with the Gunners travelling to West Brom. Plus all the goals from Saturday's games, as well as a light-hearted look at some of the weekend's more unusual moments.
Episode 15: December 15th 2013
Mark Chapman introduces highlights of the day's three Premier League matches. Manchester United visit the West Midlands boasting a five-match winning streak against Aston Villa. Tottenham entertain Liverpool looking to record a sixth successive home league win over the Reds at White Hart Lane, while the day's other game sees Norwich defend their four-game unbeaten record against Swansea.
Episode 6: September 29th, 2013
Highlights and analysis of the day's two Premier League fixtures, as Sunderland host Liverpool and Stoke welcome Norwich. Sunderland head coach Paulo Di Canio brought in 14 players over the summer and is already under pressure after failing to win a Premier League game in August. Conversely, Liverpool made a superb start to the season, including victory over champions Manchester United. Stoke made a promising start to the season under new manager Mark Hughes, but after tough fixtures against Manchester City and Arsenal they will welcome the visit of Norwich, who have never won at the Britannia Stadium in eight attempts. Plus all the goals from Saturday's games and a light-hearted look at some of the weekend's more unusual moments.
Episode 16: December 23rd 2013
Mark Chapman introduces highlights from the London derby between Arsenal and Chelsea, as well as Sunday's games featuring Southampton against Tottenham and Swansea versus Everton. Arsenal have started the season superbly, but back-to-back fixtures against Manchester City and now Chelsea will give a clearer indication of whether they can sustain a title challenge. Jose Mourinho was unbeaten against Arsene Wenger heading into this match, and his Chelsea side won 2-0 at the Emirates in the League Cup earlier this season.
Episode 5: September 22nd, 2013
Mark Chapman introduces highlights of the day's two Premier League matches. It is the first Manchester derby of the season, with the managers of both United and City getting their first taste of this unique rivalry. David Moyes will be used to the intensity of such games, having overseen plenty of Merseyside derbies in his time as Everton manager. However, the Scot had a poor record in those clashes, and will be hoping for a change of fortunes now he is at Manchester United. His opposite number, Manuel Pellegrino, was sacked after just a season at Real Madrid - in part because his side finished behind arch-rivals Barcelona - so the Chilean also understands the importance of getting the better of big rivals. In the day's early kick-off, Arsenal host Stoke, hoping to extend their perfect home record in Premier League fixtures against the Potters, having won on all five previous occasions. Could new Stoke manager Mark Hughes inspire his side to end their losing streak?
Episode 17: December 29th 2013
Highlights and reaction from the day's four Premier League fixtures, introduced by Mark Chapman. Games include a reunion at Stamford Bridge, as Jose Mourinho's former Chelsea coach Brendan Rodgers returns with his Liverpool side. The last time they met, in April, Luis Suarez scored a dramatic late equaliser in a game that will be remembered for his bite on Branislav Ivanovic. Elsewhere, Newcastle host Arsenal, Everton welcome Southampton, and Tottenham entertain Stoke.
