Colin Murray presents highlights of the day's busy four match Premier League schedule which includes a clash between high flying Manchester City and Arsenal. Title contenders City have failed to score in their last three league games against the Gunners, but with the likes of Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Mario Balotelli among the goals this season, they will be confident of ending that run. Arsenal's last visit to Manchester saw them concede eight goals against Manchester United, and the Gunners have not won at City since 2008 - so history seems against them. City's neighbours, Manchester United are also in action against London opposition, with Sir Alex Ferguson's title chasing outfit hitting the road and taking on Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road. Neil Warnock's side have had a solid start in their return to top flight but they have not beaten the Red Devils since a famous 4-1 win on New Year's Day back in 1992. Sunderland also journey south to the capital to take on Tottenham, while Aston Villa meet Liverpool in a game that sees Reds winger Stewart Downing return to his former club. There is also a full round-up of all the action from Saturday, with analysis and insight provided by Lee Dixon and Alan Hansen.
