Colin Murray introduces highlights of the day's games between Manchester City and Tottenham and Arsenal versus Manchester United plus a round-up of Saturday's matches.
Colin Murray presents highlights of the day's two huge Premier League games between Manchester City and Tottenham and Arsenal versus Manchester United.
Both London clubs will be looking for revenge after suffering early-season thrashings in these fixtures a few months ago while the two Manchester sides will be looking for maximum points to maintain their title challenges.
Spurs were beaten 5-1 by a white-hot Manchester City at White Hart Lane in August, but since then they have signed Scott Parker, the England midfielder whose arrival has proved the catalyst for a superb run of form. Harry Redknapp's side have been highly impressive as they aim to win their first top flight title since 1961 - while City have shown the qualities needed to go all the way and win their first championship for 44 years.
Arsenal meanwhile, made an even worse start to their campaign than their London rivals, with poor defending culminating in a catastrophic 8-2 defeat at Old Trafford in September. United completely outplayed them that day with Wayne Rooney netting a hat-trick as they ripped the Gunners apart. However, manager Arsene Wenger seems to have steadied the ship, thanks largely to the goalscoring prowess of deadly Dutchman Robin van Persie. The Gunners won this fixture 1-0 last season, but their recent record against Sir Alex Ferguson's men is not great as they have lost five of their last six matches against the Red Devils.
As ever, there will also be a comprehensive round-up of the weekend's action - and in the studio Colin will be joined by analysts Lee Dixon and Alan Hansen.
