Match of the Day 2: MOTD2 - 3rd March 2019
Overview
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 is also analysis of the goals and incidents from the rest of the weekend’s matches.
