Product Information

Gary Lineker introduces highlights of the day's seven Premier League fixtures, including Manchester United's clash with Newcastle. The corresponding fixture last season saw United consolidate their position at the head of the Premier League with a thrilling 4-3 Boxing Day win. The Red Devils came from behind on three occasions to win at Old Trafford and needed to show some similar resilience after an indifferent start to David Moyes' tenure. Rights for UEFA Champions League qualifiers, which are held by the home team and fall outside the rights for the competition proper, were obtained on an ad hoc basis for English teams in this period, which is currently the case for the BBC with Scottish and Northern Irish teams. Both legs of Manchester United's 2002–03 third round qualifying matches against Zalaegerszeg were shown live on the BBC. [13]

Gary Lineker presents highlights from the day's Premier League matches, including Chelsea's trip to Aston Villa. New boss Gerard Houllier could not have chosen more difficult opponents for his first home game in the Villa dugout. The Blues beat Villa 3-0 in last season's FA Cup semi-finals and also put seven goals past them in their most recent league meeting. Manchester United host Newcastle, whose last victory at Old Trafford was in 1972. Sir Alex Ferguson's men are looking to extend their 10-year unbeaten run against the Magpies, whose last success in this fixture was a 4-3 win in September 2001 when Alan Shearer grabbed the winner. Gary Lineker introduces highlights of six Premier League games including newly promoted Hull's trip to Manchester City. It is a testing fixture for Hull, who began the season away at Chelsea, and now face another of the title favourites. Their opponents are determined to regain the Premier League trophy they lifted in 2012, and have strengthened their squad by signing Spanish duo Alvaro Negredo and Jesus Navas plus Montenegrin talent Stefan Jovetic.Gary Lineker presents highlights from all of today's Premier League fixtures. On paper the biggest fixture looked to be Chelsea's visit to Liverpool. The Blues' 2-0 victory at Anfield last season ended Liverpool's 11-match winning streak and spelled the beginning of the end for the Reds' title hopes. So far this season it has been the London side who have looked the more likely champions but there is still a long way to go, and today's result could prove crucial. Gary Lineker presents the best of the action and reaction from the day's seven Premier League matches, with the three title contenders all involved.
