Gary Lineker introduces the best of the action and reaction from seven matches on the opening day of the 2012/13 Premier League season, with studio guests Alan Hansen and Alan Shearer providing expert analysis. Arsene Wenger's Arsenal host Sunderland in North London as the Gunners kick off another hungry search for a first trophy since 2005. To the east of the capital, Aston Villa visit newly-promoted West Ham, with new boss Paul Lambert desperate to revive the flagging fortunes of the Midlanders. Elsewhere, Liverpool fans get their first glimpse of league life under Brendan Rogers against West Brom, with Newcastle and Tottenham - two teams that both battled for but ultimately failed to land Champions League qualification last season - looking to get their campaign off to a flying start in the north east. Other matches include Stoke's trip to Reading, Fulham taking on Norwich, and QPR against Swansea.

15 September, 2012 10:30 pm
Gary Lineker presents highlights from all of Saturday's Premier League matches. Champions Manchester City meet Stoke at the Britannia Stadium, which was the scene of a Peter Crouch wonder strike when then teams drew there last season. Manchester United entertain Wigan, while Fulham manager Martin Jol sees his team play West Brom, a club he represented in his playing career. Arsenal play host to Southampton, hoping to score their first league goals of the season at the Emirates after being held 0-0 there by Sunderland on the opening day. Other fixtures include a west London derby, with QPR also looking to banish memories of their most recent league game at Loftus Road, a 5-0 thumping by Swansea - but Mark Hughes' side face a tough task, with European champions Chelsea the visitors. Elsewhere, Liverpool travel to Sunderland, Norwich host West Ham and Swansea visit Aston Villa.

27 October, 2012 10:30 pm
Gary Lineker introduces highlights of six Premier League games, including the London derby between Arsenal and QPR. Arsene Wenger is desperate for his relatively new-look Arsenal team to show that they can mount a real challenge for the Premier League title, having not won a trophy since 2005. They will also be keen to exact revenge on Mark Hughes's struggling side, who caused a minor shock when they beat them 2-1 at Loftus Road back in March. Elsewhere, Swansea travel to Manchester City for a meeting between two of the most watchable top-flight sides at the Etihad Stadium. Both teams have managers from foreign climes, with champions City led by Italy's Roberto Mancini and the equally urbane Michael Laudrup, from Denmark, in charge of the Welsh club. In other matches, Aston Villa host Norwich in the early game, Fulham take on Reading, Stoke travel to Sunderland, and West Ham play at Wigan.

28 November, 2012 10:30 pm
Gary Lineker presents highlights from a busy midweek of Premier League action, with analysis from Alan Hansen and Alan Shearer. Manchester United come up against a Sam Allardyce-managed West Ham for the first time since the Hammers' promotion. Allardyce masterminded Bolton to famous victories at Old Trafford in 2001 and 2002, with current West Ham skipper Kevin Nolan on target on both occasions. Chelsea and Fulham meet in a west London derby, while Manchester City travel to north west neighbours Wigan. Elsewhere, Everton welcome Arsenal to Goodison Park, looking to end their 10-match winless streak against the Gunners.

2012x15 MOTD - December 1st, 2012

01 December, 2012 10:30 pm
Gary Lineker introduces highlights from the Premier League, with fixtures including the clash between Manchester City and Everton. The Toffees have proved a real thorn in City's side in recent years, winning five of the last six league matches between the sides. That run includes a rare home defeat for City boss Roberto Mancini in 2010, plus last season's game at Goodison Park, which Everton won thanks to a Darron Gibson goal. The lunchtime kick-off is a London derby between West Ham and Chelsea at Upton Park. The Hammers have made an encouraging start to the season following their return to the top flight, but they have not beaten the Blues since 2003. There is another London derby at Craven Cottage, where Fulham manager Martin Jol faces his former side Tottenham, while elsewhere in the capital Arsenal host Swansea. Other matches include Liverpool against Southampton, Queens Park Rangers against Aston Villa and West Brom versus Stoke, while the evening kick-off sees Readin

Manchester City travel to Norwich, a side they fired 11 goals past last term, including six at Carrow Road during their title-clinching, six-game winning run at the end of the season. Manchester United take on West Brom, looking to continue their record of never having lost to the Baggies during the Premier League era. Arsenal play host to Newcastle, a side they have beaten only once in four attempts since the Magpies returned to the Premier League, while Reading welcome West Ham to the Madejski Stadium in a battle of two of last season's promoted clubs.

01 January, 2013 10:30 pm
Gary Lineker introduces highlights of the first seven Premier League fixtures of 2013 on a busy day of New Year action. Manchester United make the short trip across Lancashire to take on Wigan. The Latics finally ended their 13-game all-time winless league run against Sir Alex Ferguson's men in the 2011 season at the DW Stadium with a famous first-ever victory. Manchester City host Stoke City, a side they have beaten on all four previous Premier League meetings at the Etihad Stadium without the visitors so much as scoring a goal. West Ham host Norwich at Upton Park, with recent meetings tending to be close: six of the last seven league encounters between the sides had ended level. Reading travel to Tottenham for the first time since an enthralling 6-4 defeat in December 2007. Analysis comes from Mark Lawrenson and Dion Dublin.

2012x22 MOTD - January 2nd, 2013

02 January, 2013 10:30 pm
Gary Lineker presents highlights of the night's three Premier League games, with analysis from Alan Hansen and Michael Owen. Chelsea go into their derby game with west London neighbours Queens Park Rangers at Stamford Bridge boasting a 12-match unbeaten home record against the Rs. Fernando Torres scored a hat-trick in Chelsea's 6-1 triumph in April 2012. Liverpool entertain Sunderland, who have provided dogged resistance at Anfield during the Premier League era, drawing six of 11 total matches, including each of their last two visits. Everton travel to St James' Park in the day's other game to take on Newcastle. The Toffees had recorded just one win on their last 10 trips to Tyneside. There is also another chance to see all of the goals from Tuesday's games.

2012x23 MOTD - January 12th, 2013

12 January, 2013 10:30 pm
Gary Lineker introduces the best of the action and reaction from the day's eight Premier League matches. A trip to Stoke may hold less fear for Chelsea than most clubs, as it is a fixture they had not lost since 1975. Nonetheless, recent meetings have been hard fought and Chelsea only won this season's reverse fixture with a late goal by Ashley Cole. Other games include the meeting between European hopefuls Everton and Swansea at Goodison Park, Aston Villa against fellow strugglers Southampton, Queens Park Rangers versus Tottenham Hotspur, and Reading's home fixture with West Brom.

2012x24 MOTD - January 19th, 2013

19 January, 2013 10:30 pm
Gary Lineker introduces the best of the action and reaction from the day's seven Premier League matches. There is a London derby at Upton Park, where West Ham host QPR. Rangers' manager Harry Redknapp enjoyed a successful seven-year stint as Hammers boss but will be desperate to get one over on his former side, with his new charges lying in relegation trouble. In the Midlands, there is a derby between West Brom and Aston Villa. The Villans may have struggled in the league this season but this match comes just days before the crucial second leg of their League Cup semi-final against Bradford. Elsewhere, champions Manchester City take on Fulham, Liverpool face Norwich, Newcastle play Reading, Swansea host Stoke and Sunderland travel to Wigan

2012x25 MOTD - January 30th, 2013

30 January, 2013 10:30 pm
Gary Lineker introduces highlights of Arsenal against Liverpool, Manchester United playing host to Southampton, Reading v Chelsea, Tottenham's visit to Norwich, Everton facing West Brom, and West Ham's short trip to Fulham. Arsene Wenger's Arsenal are battling hard to convince critics - and their own fans - that they can finish in the top four while under forward-thinking Welsh manager Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool look to be making genuine progress - and might be an outside bet for Champions League qualification themselves. Meanwhile, Manchester United have swatted aside most teams with the aid of lethal forward Robin van Persie. Promoted club Southampton have shone at times, but will need a miserly defence to stop the expected attacking onslaught. There are also highlights from Tuesday's four Premier League matches, which include QPR against Manchester City.

Tony Pulis's Stoke travel to Arsenal, where they had lost all four previous Premier League encounters against Arsene Wenger's men. Meanwhile, Newcastle host Chelsea, who boosted their squad with the signing of former St James' Park favourite Demba Ba in January. Elsewhere, Everton take on Aston Villa, QPR face Norwich, Reading host Sunderland, Swansea travel to West Ham and Wigan meet Southampton.

2012x27 MOTD - February 9th, 2013

09 February, 2013 10:30 pm
Gary Lineker introduces highlights from the Premier League. Champions Manchester City travel down to Southampton, having come from behind to beat the Saints earlier in this campaign. Tottenham host Newcastle, whom they thrashed 5-0 at White Hart Lane last season. Chelsea face Wigan, against whom they have had some big wins in recent years, including scorelines of 8-0 and 6-0. The last time Arsenal were at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland put them out of the FA Cup; 12 months on, Arsene Wenger's side hope for better fortunes. Struggling Reading have the tricky task of trying to pick up points from their visit to Stoke's Britannia Stadium, something which has proved beyond most other teams this season. The day's other games see Fulham visit Norwich and QPR travel to Wales to play Swansea.

2012x28 MOTD - February 23rd, 2013

23 February, 2013 10:30 pm
Gary Lineker introduces the best of the action and reaction from the day's six Premier League matches. Manchester United's trip to QPR has implications at both ends of the table, with the hosts fighting against relegation and the visitors contesting the title. Recent history favours United, who were 12 matches unbeaten in this fixture prior to this match. In other games, Reading face fellow strugglers Wigan, while freefalling Aston Villa face a daunting visit to Arsenal.

2012x38 MOTD - May 11th, 2013

11 May, 2013 10:30 pm
Highlights of the Premier League game between Aston Villa and Chelsea. Villa have endured a difficult season, spending much of the campaign battling to avoid relegation. They were beaten 8-0 in the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge in December, when they suffered their biggest defeat in top-flight history. But the prolific form of Belgian striker Christian Benteke since the turn of the year has helped Paul Lambert's side pick up some vital points. The visitors lifted the Champions League trophy 12 months ago, but need a strong finish to the season if they are to qualify for next year's competition. Interim manager Rafael Benitez won't be in charge of the Blues next season, but he will be determined to end his Stamford Bridge stint on a high by claiming a top-four spot.

2012x39 MOTD - May 12th, 2013

12 May, 2013 10:30 pm
Gary Lineker introduces highlights from seven Premier League games. The penultimate Sunday of the season is sure to provide plenty of drama and suspense, as teams near the bottom battle to secure survival while those at the top scrap over European qualification. Tottenham have failed to win their last four league and cup games against Stoke, but they may fancy their chances of victory at the Britannia Stadium given the Potters' disappointing displays since the new year. Sunderland's form has also dipped in the second half of the season, prompting the Black Cats to replace manager Martin O'Neill. His replacement, Paolo Di Canio, will be hopeful of securing three points against Southampton. Leaders Manchester United take on Swansea in what will be the Red Devils' final home game of the 2012-13 season. Newcastle make the long trip south to play Queens Park Rangers, while Liverpool also head to London, with Fulham their opponents. Elsewhere, Everton face West Ham and Norwich host Wes

19 May, 2013 10:30 pm
Gary Lineker introduces highlights of the conclusion to the 2012-13 Premier League season, with all 20 clubs in action as the final league table order is established and any outstanding issues settled. In 2012, Manchester City deprived local rivals Manchester United by clinching the title in injury time. United bounced back to claim their 20th top-flight title last month and are looking to sign off their season in style at West Brom.
