Colin Murray presents highlights of the day's two Premier League matches and a round-up of the rest of the weekend's action. West Brom and West Ham face north-east opposition, with Newcastle travelling to the Hawthorns and Sunderland hosting the Hammers. Promoted pair West Brom and Newcastle have acquitted themselves well in the top flight this season. The Baggies have won at Arsenal and held Manchester United at Old Trafford, while Newcastle put six past Villa and scored five against Sunderland. Both league meetings were drawn last season, and West Brom have not claimed all three points in 17 attempts since Boxing Day 1984. West Ham have taken 10 points out of the last 12 against Sunderland and already won at the Stadium of Light this season, in the League Cup. Having made a poor start to the campaign, West Ham will be desperate to keep that good run going.

Episode 16: December 12th, 2010
Colin Murray presents highlights of the day's three Premier League matches, which were all derby games. There is also a chance to see the goals from all of Saturday's games in the top flight. Having struggled to beat Chelsea for years, Tottenham were looking for a third consecutive home win over the Blues at White Hart Lane today. Spurs' last victory in April threatened to derail Chelsea's title hopes and although Carlo Ancelotti's side were eventually crowned champions, his players will be determined to avenge that defeat today. Birmingham have won their last three league matches against Wolves, including the last meeting at St Andrew's in February when they had to rely on two late Kevin Phillips goals. Wolves had home advantage today although that didn't help them in their only previous derby this season, when they conceded a late Emile Heskey goal to lose 2-1 at home to Aston Villa. Bolton against Blackburn is always a fiercely contested derby match.
Episode 9: October 24th, 2010
Colin Murray presents highlights of the day's Premier League matches, including an intriguing match at Eastlands where Manchester City welcome title rivals Arsenal. City won this fixture 4-2 last season but the match made the headlines for all the wrong reasons when City striker Emmanuel Adebayor - signed from Arsenal - incensed some of the Gunners fans by running the length of the pitch to celebrate his goal in front of them. Elsewhere, Manchester United are at Stoke, while Liverpool will hope to put their poor start to the season behind them when they play Blackburn at Anfield.

Episode 8: October 17th, 2010
Colin Murray introduces highlights of the day's Premier League games, including the match between Everton and Liverpool. Merseyside derbies are usually fast and frenetic affairs, with the last 11 league games producing 19 red cards. Liverpool's Sotirios Kyrgiakos and Everton's Marouane Fellaini were both dismissed when the sides last met before Dirk Kuyt grabbed the winner for the Reds. The day's other game sees newly-promoted Blackpool host Manchester City at Bloomfield Road. While City have spent a fortune in the hope of becoming a Premier League force, Ian Holloway guided Blackpool to promotion from the Championship on a shoestring budget. Most pundits tipped the Tangerines to struggle before the start of the season, but there have been some encouraging signs from Holloway's side so far.
Episode 18: January 2nd, 2011
With the New Year just begun, who will start 2011 in style? There are highlights from the day's two Premier League matches, with the feature being Chelsea's match with Aston Villa. Champions Chelsea won this corresponding fixture at Stamford Bridge 7-1 last season, but Villa tightened up their defence to earn a goalless draw with the Blues at Villa Park back in October. The goals have dried up for Carlo Ancelotti's side after their blistering beginning to the season, but they will be desperate to get the New Year off to a good start as they bid to retain their Premier League title. The day's other game sees Wigan host Newcastle. The Geordies have a dismal record in away matches with the Latics and have lost all four of their Premier League matches at the DW Stadium. Roberto Martinez's side almost pulled off another victory over Newcastle in October, but they threw away a 2-0 lead at St James' Park to draw 2-2.
