August 14, 2002

39x3 - 27th August 2002: Uefa Champions League: Manchester United v Zalaegerszeg
August 27, 2002
Coverage from Old Trafford of this Uefa Champions' League third qualifying round second-leg. After their shock injury-time defeat by this Hungarian side in the first leg, Manchester United will be taking no chances tonight. Failure to qualify for the Champions' League would be a major embarrassment, and Alex Ferguson will want to deploy some of his biggest weapons to ensure their one-goal deficit is overturned.
39x4 - 30th August 2002: Uefa Super Cup: Real Madrid v Feyenoord
August 30, 2002
Last season's Champions' League winners, Real Madrid, take on the Uefa Cup holders from the Netherlands, Feyenoord, in the annual European Super Cup final at Monaco's Stade Louis II. Madrid will start as favourites, with their glittering squad that includes the world's most expensive footballer, French midfield maestro Zinedine Zidane. But Liverpool showed last season, when beating Bayern Munich, that the Uefa Cup winners are not necessarily the poor relations in this fixture.
39x5 - 7th September 2002: International Friendly: England v Portugal
September 7, 2002
Gary Lineker introduces highlights of England's friendly against Portugal at Villa Park.
39x6 - 6th October 2002: Celtic v Rangers
October 6, 2002
Coverage from Celtic Park of the first of this season's Old Firm battles between the two Glasgow titans. Derbies between the two clubs are always something to savour and once again Celtic and Rangers are setting the pace in the Scottish Premier League. Aberdeen were the last team, in the 1984/5 season, to break the two teams' title stranglehold.
39x7 - 12th October 2002: Euro 2004 Qualifier
October 12, 2002
Coverage of the opening game in England's campaign to qualify for Euro 2004. In the first of two matches England will play within four days, Sven-Goran Eriksson's men will be aiming for maximum points in this Group Seven clash against a team they have never played before and which lost 0-3 to Turkey in their own opening match. Formerly part of the old Czechoslovakia national side, Slovakia do not have a great record against stronger international sides while England must win their group to be assured of an automatic place at the tournament finals in Portugal.
39x8 - 16th October 2002: Euro 2004 Qualifier
October 16, 2002
England v Macedonia. Coverage of the second match this week in England's campaign to qualify for the Euro finals in Portugal. After Saturday's trip to Slovakia all eyes will now be focused on St Mary's Stadium, Southampton. It's the first ever meeting between the two teams and Sven-Goran Eriksson will be anxious to secure full points tonight to keep England on course to win Group Seven and avoid a repeat of their Euro 2000 campaign - where they had to endure a tense two-leg play-off with Scotland. Macedonia's qualifying hopes hit a setback last month when they were held to a 1-1 draw by unheralded Liechtenstein. In today's other matches involving British teams, Wales faced a tough test at the Millennium Stadium as they looked for a win against Italy, the Euro 2000 runners-up, while in Group Six Northern Ireland look for a first-time win over the Ukraine at Windsor Park.
39x9 - 31st October 2002: Uefa Cup: Celtic v Blackburn Rovers
October 31, 2002
Coverage from Celtic Park of the Uefa Cup second-round, first-leg clash between Celtic and Blackburn Rovers - a true Battle of Britain. Martin O'Neill 's Celtic have dominated the Scottish Premier League during the past couple of seasons but have yet to translate this into success on the European stage. After breezing through the first round of this tournament against Lithuanian outfit FK Suduva , they are certain to face a far tougher test against Blackburn, a side managed by Graham Souness - the former boss of their fierce Glasgow rivals, Rangers.
39x10 - 14th November 2002: Uefa Cup: Blackburn Rovers v Celtic
November 14, 2002
Coverage from Ewood Park of the Uefa Cup second-round, second-leg encounter.

November 27, 2002
Non-league sides tackle teams from divisions two and three in a roundup of replays from the FA Cup first round.

The last league meeting of these two was a memorable affair, with Chris Sutton's late goal for Celtic salvaging a 3-3 draw in October. Victory for either side would be a big step towards the league title.

Swindon had an equally tough time dispatching fellow second-division team Huddersfield, with captain Andy Gumey securing a 1-0 score after the tie looked to be heading for a replay.
39x17 - 12th December 2002: Uefa Cup
December 12, 2002
Liverpool v Vitesse Arnhem. Coverage from Anfield of this Uefa Cup third-round, second-leg match. Gerard Houllier 's men - winners of the Cup in 2001-were forced into settling for a place in the competition after their Champions' League dreams died, after their valiant comeback to force a 3-3 draw in Basle last month failed to see them progress beyond the group stages.

But the most recent meeting saw the Red Devils cruise to a 3-0 win.
39x24 - 26th January 2003: FA Cup Fourth Round
January 26, 2003
Shrewsbury Town v Chelsea. The second of today's FA Cup fourth-round ties is this intriguing fixture from Gay Meadow in which the Third Division giant-killers try their luck against three-times cup winners Chelsea. Claudio Ranieri 's team will be anxious to avoid the same fate as the last cup visitors to this ground - Everton were thwarted by a double strike from experienced forward Nigel Jemson.
