The Premier League puts on its Sunday best with the raucous atmosphere and riveting action of the North London derby, plus an intriguing game between ambitious Everton and Wolves.

Both clubs broke their transfer records over the summer in an attempt to bridge the gap at the top of the table.

February 2, 2020
Reshmin Chowdhury presents highlights of the day’s two fixtures from the Premier League, with Manchester City travelling to Tottenham and Burnley hosting Arsenal.

February 16, 2020
Highlights of today’s two Premier League matches. Aston Villa host Tottenham, while Arsenal are in action against Newcastle. Tottenham came from behind to beat Villa 3-1 on the opening weekend, but inconsistent form during the autumn eventually saw manager Mauricio Pochettino replaced by Jose Mourinho. If Mourinho is to guide Spurs to European qualification, they may need to beat a Villa side who have spent most of the season battling relegation. It’s a similar story for Arsenal, who sacked head coach Unai Emery in November, replacing him with Mikel Arteta. His team will need to be wary against a Newcastle side who have already beaten Chelsea, Manchester United and Spurs this season.
