Episode 16: MOTD2 - 17th January 2021
Mark Chapman brings you the best of Sunday’s top-flight games as reigning champions Liverpool faced old foe Manchester United, while Manchester City and Spurs were also in action. Liverpool were attempting to win three successive home league matches against United for the first time in nearly a decade, having only been beaten once in the previous 10 competitive meetings. Manchester City experienced rather more difficulty at home to Crystal Palace in recent seasons, taking one point out of a possible six prior to Sunday’s match, while struggling Sheffield United were in desperate need of extending their unbeaten top-flight home run against Tottenham to seven games. You can also see every goal from the Premier League fixtures that took place earlier this weekend.
Episode 11: MOTD2 - 6th December 2020
Mark Chapman presents highlights from the day’s Premier League matches, which include a north London derby between old foes Tottenham and Arsenal. Spurs’ 2-1 victory over the Gunners in July meant they had gone unbeaten in six consecutive home league games against their bitter rivals for the first time since January 1968. However, Arsenal look rejuvenated this season under Mikel Arteta, and this is always a match that is fiercely contested.
Episode 17: MOTD2 - 31st January 2021
Mark Chapman presents highlights of the day’s Premier League matches, including the clash between West Ham United and reigning champions Liverpool. The Hammers are without a win in their last nine games against Jurgen Klopp’s side, but they will take hope from the Reds’ inconsistent away form this season. Mark and guests will also analyse the goals and talking points from all the weekend’s games.
Episode 10: MOTD2 - 29th November 2020

Episode 18: MOTD2 - 7th February 2021
Gabby Logan reviews the day's Premier League action, including Liverpool v Manchester CIty at Anfield and Wolverhampton Wanderers v Leicester City at Molineux. Liverpool prevailed 3-1 in last season's corresponding fixture en route to winning the league, but their title-defence has stuttered in recent weeks while the Citizens looked to be hitting top form. Leicester have also impressed lately and will have hoped to boost their own chances of topping the table at the end of the campaign with a victory over a Wolves side that have struggled for form since a serious injury to Raul Jimenez. Plus, Sheffield United v Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United and a round-up of yesterday's goals.
Episode 9: MOTD2 - 22nd November 2020
Mark Chapman presents the highlights from today’s Premier League games, which included Leeds facing Arsenal at Elland Road and Sheffield United hosting West Ham. Leeds and Arsenal have traditionally been big rivals, but this will be their first Premier League meeting since the 2003-04 season. The Yorkshire side will be hoping to fare better than they did against the Gunners in that campaign, when they lost 4-1 at home and 5-0 at Highbury. Oli McBurnie’s goal was enough to give Sheffield United victory the last time they faced West Ham in January, although the Hammers did have an injury-time equaliser controversially ruled out by VAR.

Episode 8: MOTD2 - 8th November 2020
Mark Chapman reviews the day's Premier League action, including Manchester City v Liverpool at Etihad Stadium and Leicester City v Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. The Citizens overcame Liverpool 4-0 last term, but the Reds had already claimed the league title Pep Guardiola's men had won in the previous two seasons. Both meetings between the Foxes and Wolves finished goalless last season, but both sides will have been hopeful of breaking the deadlock on this occasion having made steady starts to their respective campaigns.
