Episode 26: March 20th, 2011
Colin Murray presents highlights from today's two Barclays Premier League matches, as well as all the goals and talking points from yesterday's eight games. Today's fixtures include Liverpool's visit to the Stadium of Light, where they suffered a controversial 1-0 defeat to Sunderland last season when Darren Bent's winner found the net after deflecting off a beach ball thrown onto the pitch by a Reds fan. Also in action today were Chelsea, who hosted Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. City have a good recent record against the Blues, winning the last three meetings, with their talisman Carlos Tevez finding the net in all three games. The Argentine scored twice in this fixture last season, when City came from behind to win 4-2 in a lively encounter, which Chelsea ended with nine men after both Juliano Belletti and Michael Ballack were sent off.
Episode 21: February 6th, 2011
Colin Murray introduces highlights of the day's two Premier League fixtures. Chelsea entertain Liverpool at Stamford Bridge looking to avenge a 2-0 defeat at Anfield earlier this season. Carlo Ancellotti's side need a victory to maintain their hopes of winning a second successive title. At Upton Park, West Ham take on Birmingham. The two sides shared the points in an entertaining match at St Andrew's earlier this season as the Blues roared back from 2-0 down to snatch a point.
Episode 27: April 3rd, 2011
Colin Murray presents highlights of the day's Premier League programme, which features two fascinating games. Manchester City host Sunderland in a crucial clash hoping to avenge the 1-0 defeat they suffered at the Black Cats in August. Last season's corresponding fixture at Eastlands produced seven goals as City ran out 4-3 winners in a thrilling encounter. Fulham versus Blackpool is also an encounter with much at stake. The last time Blackpool faced Fulham at Craven Cottage, these sides were both in the third tier. That 1999 match ended 4-0 in Fulham's favour - a similar result this time would put a huge dent in the Ian Holloway's bid to keep Blackpool in the Premier League for a second season.
Episode 20: January 23rd 2011
Off-field events at Ewood Park have overshadowed Blackburn's season, with the new owners controversially sacking manager Sam Allardyce last month shortly after completing their takeover of the club. Caretaker manager Steve Kean claims he can satisfy the owners' demands and lead the club into the top five despite having only five million pounds to spend in the January transfer window. Today's opponents West Brom have more modest ambitions - avoiding relegation - but they have exceeded expectation since promotion last summer.
Episode 28: April 10th, 2011
Colin Murray presents highlights of the day's Premier League programme which features two games.

Though they have picked up some notable scalps along the way, they have struggled lately and are in danger of relegation.

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.
