Episode 24: MOTD2 - 3rd March 2019
Mark Chapman presents highlights of today’s three Premier League games, including the Merseyside derby, where Everton will try to derail Liverpool’s title challenge. The Toffees have not beaten the Reds since 2010 but will hope to capitalise on any nerves from Jurgen Klopp’s side. Liverpool last won the league in 1990, meaning they have yet to lift the Premier League trophy. There’s another derby match in west London, where relegation-threatened Fulham host a Chelsea side desperate for points in their bid to earn a top-four spot. The day’s third game sees Watford host Leicester at Vicarage Road, with the Hornets hoping to avenge December’s 2-0 defeat to the Foxes.

There's also a round-up of all the goals from the weekend's previous games, including Manchester City against Crystal Palace.

With the battle for Champions League qualification places intensifying, this game could carry huge significance in the race for the top four. Elsewhere, title-chasing Liverpool welcome Burnley to Anfield, and Chelsea face a Wolves side that beat them earlier this season. There is also analysis of the goals and incidents from the rest of the weekend’s matches.
Episode 16: MOTD2 - 16th December 2018

Eilidh Barbour introduces highlights and reaction from St James' Park of the day's solitary Premier League fixture as struggling Newcastle United sought to tame Wolves.

By contrast, Rafael Benitez's Newcastle took 11 games to earn their first league win of the campaign and have lacked a cutting edge. There's also a round-up of all the goals from Saturday's eight games, including Chelsea v Manchester City.
Episode 27: MOTD2 - 31st March 2019
Mark Chapman presents highlights and discussion of the day’s two Premier League games, with title-chasing Liverpool hosting Spurs and struggling Cardiff at home to Chelsea. Liverpool have a fantastic recent home record against Tottenham, with only one defeat in 24 Premier League meetings at Anfield. However, they can ill-afford a repeat of last season’s game, in which Harry Kane denied them victory with a stoppage-time penalty. Cardiff were thumped 4-1 at Chelsea back in September and both sides are desperate for the three points as they seek to reach their goals at opposite ends of the table. There’s also a round-up of all the goals from Saturday’s seven games, including Fulham against Manchester City.
