Season 8
2011 • 31 Episodes
Colin Murray introduces highlights of the day's top-flight games. Premier League champions Manchester United begin the defence of their crown with a trip to West Brom. The Baggies were the only visiting team to claim a league point at Old Trafford last season, but their home record against the Red Devils is less impressive - United have won their last seven league games at the Hawthorns. The reigning champions have bolstered their squad this summer with the signings of Ashley Young, Phil Jones and David de Gea, and manager Sir Alex Ferguson will be hopeful of securing a fifth Premier League title in six seasons. Chelsea's first game under new manager Andre Villas-Boas is an awkward trip to Stoke, who were last season's beaten FA Cup finalists. Villas-Boas arrived at Stamford Bridge after a hugely successful season with FC Porto, prompting inevitable comparisons with Jose Mourinho, who led the Blues to back-to-back Premier League titles.
Season 9
2012 • 33 Episodes
Colin Murray is joined by guests including Mark Lawrenson for highlights of the day's Premier League fixtures between Wigan and Chelsea and Manchester City and Southampton - as well as a round-up of Saturday's seven matches. Hopes are high for Roberto di Matteo's buoyant Chelsea, who launched a new league title bid off the back of a season of relative domestic transition - despite sensationally winning the European Champions League. They are keen to improve on their 1-1 draw at the DW Stadium in Lancashire last season. Roberto Mancini's Manchester City, inspired by David Silva, host newly-promoted Southampton in confident mood ahead of a campaign in which they are determined to build upon, winning a first league championship since 1968.
Season 10
2013 • 30 Episodes
Mark Chapman introduces highlights of two matches on the opening Sunday of the 2013/14 Premier League season. Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho is back for a second spell in charge of Chelsea - they host newly-promoted Hull at Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, Ian Holloway's Crystal Palace will be out to prove that they should not necessarily be firm favourites for relegation as Tottenham go to Selhurst Park for a hotly-contested London derby.
Season 11
2014 • 31 Episodes
Mark Chapman introduces highlights from the day's two Premier League matches. Champions Manchester City begin the defence of their title away at Newcastle. City beat the Magpies at home and away last season, and also got the better of them in the League Cup, so will be expecting to get the 2014-15 campaign off to a winning start. Liverpool, who just missed out on the title last season, begin life without talismanic but controversial striker Luis Suarez, hosting Southampton at Anfield.
Season 12
2015 • 32 Episodes
Highlights and analysis of the day's three Premier League matches, plus a round-up of Saturday's action, introduced by Mark Chapman. Arsenal have approached the new season in confident mood after ending the last campaign strongly and retaining the FA Cup. Sunday's opponents West Ham hadn't beaten the Gunners in 15 attempts, but their new manager Slaven Bilic has been backed in the transfer market and set a target of a top-eight finish by the club's owners. There was a managerial bow too for Steve McClaren at Newcastle, who hosted Southampton, while Stoke City faced Liverpool in a repeat of the final day of last season, when the Potters scored five first-half goals as Brendan Rodgers' side were thrashed 6-1.
Season 13
2016 • 32 Episodes
Manish Bhasin presents highlights of Sunday's Premier League games, as Bournemouth play Manchester United and Arsenal take on Liverpool. The former match sees new United manager Jose Mourinho take charge of his first league game since succeeding Louis van Gaal. The former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss has wasted little time overhauling his squad, and could hand Premier League debuts to summer signings Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Eric Bailly. Meanwhile at the Emirates, last season's runners-up Arsenal take on Liverpool. It is 12 years since the Gunners last won the league - and 26 since their opponent's last title triumph. Arsenal fans will hope the signing of Swiss international Granit Xhaka will give their midfield more bite this season, while Liverpool supporters will be expecting much from Senegalese forward Sadio Mane, who joined from Southampton this summer. There's also a chance to see all the goals and major incidents from Saturday's games.
Season 14
2017 • 30 Episodes
Mark Chapman introduces the best action and reaction from the day's Premier League matches, plus all of the goals from the opening weekend. Last season's runners-up Tottenham travelled to newly promoted Newcastle, whose manager Rafael Benitez will be looking for a repeat of the extraordinary 5-1 win at St James's Park in 2016. Manchester United entertain West Ham at Old Trafford, where the visitors haven't won in the Premier League since Carlos Tevez gave them a 1-0 victory in 2007.
Season 15
2018 • 32 Episodes
Mark Chapman presents highlights of the day's three Premier League matches. New Arsenal manager Unai Emery faces a baptism of fire with his first taste of English top-flight football coming against last season's runaway champions Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium. The day's other two opening-round fixtures see Liverpool take on Manuel Pellegrini's new West Ham side and Burnley travel to Southampton. There is also a goals round-up of the seven other Premier League games that have taken place this weekend.
Season 16
2019 • 31 Episodes
Highlights of the final three matches of the opening weekend of the new Premier League season, including Frank Lampard’s league debut as Chelsea boss at Manchester United. Lampard, Chelsea’s all-time record scorer, took his Derby side to Old Trafford last season in the League Cup, with his side winning on penalties. Can he enjoy a similar dream result in what is the highlight of the first round of games? Newcastle take on Arsenal as they adjust to life without Rafa Benitez, while 2015-16 title winners Leicester host last season’s surprise package Wolves.
