MOTD2 - 7th February 2016

Jason Mohammad introduces action from Sunday's two Premier League matches, plus all the goals from Saturday's games. The lunchtime kick-off sees Arsenal travel to the south coast to face Bournemouth. The Cherries have exceeded expectations in their first-ever season in the top flight, yet still desperately need points in their battle to avoid the drop. Arsene Wenger's team began the year top of the table but there is a lot of work to be done before they can claim a first Premier League title for more than a decade. Chelsea and Manchester United have thwarted Arsenal on many occasions since The Gunners' last league success, but both clubs are struggling this season. The teams face each other at Stamford Bridge, with United looking for a first win in six meetings against the Blues.

MOTD2 - 14th February 2016

Highlights and analysis of the day's three crucial Premier League matches. Arsenal's meeting with Leicester and Manchester City's game with Tottenham could both have major implications on the title race. The reverse fixtures earlier in the season generated a total of 12 goals as the Gunners ran out 5-2 winners at the King Power Stadium, whilst Tottenham thrashed Manchester City 4-1. The day's other game saw relegation-threatened Aston Villa face Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

MOTD2 - 28th February 2016

Highlights and analysis of the day's two Premier League matches. Manchester United entertain Arsenal at Old Trafford, looking to bounce back from the 3-0 defeat they suffered at the hands of the Gunners in October's reverse fixture. High-flying Tottenham face struggling Swansea in the day's other match, with both sides needing points to help them fulfil their ambitions at either end of the table.

MOTD2 - 6th March 2016

Mark Chapman introduces highlights of the day's two Premier League fixtures, with Crystal Palace hosting Liverpool and West Brom at home to Manchester United. Palace's hopes of qualifying for European competition have nosedived since Christmas, but they could take confidence from a run of three successive league wins against an inconsistent Liverpool ahead of their latest meeting. Manchester United have not lost to West Brom at the Hawthorns since 1984, but an end to that unbeaten run would be a considerable setback in their pursuit of Champions League qualification - and to Louis van Gaal's already fragile position as United's manager.

MOTD2 - 13th March 2016

Mark Chapman presents highlights of today's Premier League game between Aston Villa and Tottenham. Relegation-threatened Villa face a tough task against in-form Spurs, who have emerged as surprise title challengers this season. Tottenham won the reverse fixture 3-1 in November, with Mousa Dembele, Dele Alli and Harry Kane on target. There's also a chance to see the goals and major incidents from Saturday's games.

MOTD2 - 20th March 2016

Mark Chapman introduces highlights of Sunday's four Premier League fixtures, which include two derbies. Firstly, Newcastle host arch-rivals Sunderland, hoping to end their shocking run of form in this fixture. Sunderland have won a historic six successive matches against the Magpies, including three famous wins at St James' Park. Later, Manchester City take on cross-city rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium. When they met earlier in the season in what was the 170th meeting between the sides, they played out a dire 0-0 draw. Plus highlights from Tottenham v Bournemouth and Southampton's match with Liverpool, and all the goals and major incidents from Saturday's games.

MOTD2 - 3rd April 2016

Mark Chapman presents highlights from today's two Premier League matches and all the goals from yesterday's games. Leicester play Southampton, having fought back from 2-0 down to earn a point in the reverse fixture at St Mary's in October, a display which encapsulated their never-say-die approach that has put them firmly among the title contenders this season. In contrast, it has not been a vintage campaign by Manchester United's usual high standards. This afternoon the Reds host Everton, who have also underachieved so far this season. This fixture has thrown up some classic contests over the years, none more so that four years ago when the sides shared a 4-4 draw at Old Trafford.

MOTD2 - 10th April 2016

Gabby Logan presents highlights from the day's three Premier League matches and all the goals from Saturday's games on a potentially crucial day in the battle for the title, with Tottenham and Leicester City both in action. The Foxes travel to the Stadium of Light to face relegation-threatened Sunderland, hoping for a repeat of their 4-2 victory over the Black Cats in Claudio Ranieri's opening game in charge last August. Title rivals Spurs, meanwhile, welcome Manchester United to White Hart Lane while Liverpool host Stoke.

MOTD2 - 17th April 2016

Mark Chapman introduces highlights from Sunday's three Premier League fixtures, along with all the goals from Saturday's games. Title-chasing Leicester have been the surprise package of the season, but Slaven Bilic's West Ham have also impressed. The two sides met at the King Power Stadium with the hosts looking to complete a league double over the Hammers following their 2-1 away win in just the second game of their remarkable season. Arsenal hosted Crystal Palace, a fixture the Gunners have dominated during the Premier League era, having won 10 of 13 encounters. The day's other game saw Bournemouth play Liverpool with the Cherries seeking their first ever win over the Reds in either league or cup.

MOTD2 - 24th April 2016

Jason Mohammad introduces highlights from the day's Premier League fixtures, headlined by the latest chapter in Leicester City's fairytale season as they continue their title pursuit against Swansea at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes haven't lost at home in this fixture since 1950 and won 3-0 in south Wales earlier this season courtesy of a Riyad Mahrez hat-trick. Arsenal's title hopes are seemingly remote, but they are still pushing for a 20th consecutive top-four finish and can ill-afford to slip up against struggling Sunderland, who have only won this fixture once in 15 years. Like Arsenal, Manchester City are looking to secure Champions League qualification, and they face a Stoke side vying for their highest Premier League finish.

MOTD2 - 1st May 2016

Mark Chapman presents highlights of today's Premier League games, with Liverpool travelling to Swansea, Manchester United hosting Leicester and Southampton at home to Manchester City. Leicester's remarkable form this season has seen them mount an unexpected title challenge. The Foxes have already claimed stunning wins against Manchester City, Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea this term, so they will fancy their chances of securing a first win away to the Red Devils since 1998. Manchester City make the long journey south to face a Southampton side who will be hoping to secure a top-half finish for a third year in a row. City were champions in 2012 and 2014 but have been too inconsistent this season to challenge for a third Premier League title. Nonetheless, outgoing Manuel Pellegrini will hope to guide his side to a top-four spot before handing over the managerial reins to Pep Guardiola in the summer.

MOTD2 - 8th May 2016

Mark Chapman presents highlights of Saturday's Premier League games, with Manchester City hosting Arsenal, Tottenham at home to Southampton and Liverpool taking on Watford. Tottenham have mounted an unexpected title challenge this season and they will be looking to complete the league double over Southampton, who they haven't lost to since 2005. Meanwhile Manchester City play their final home match of the season against fellow top-four challengers Arsenal. Outgoing manager Manuel Pellegrini will bid farewell to the City fans as he looks to finish the season on a high before handing over the managerial reins to Pep Guardiola in the summer.
