March 2nd 2014

Mark Chapman introduces highlights of the day's three Premier League matches, which see Tottenham host Cardiff, Aston Villa play Norwich and Swansea take on Crystal Palace. Cardiff head to London in search of their first win at White Hart Lane since 1954. The newly-promoted Bluebirds controversially changed their manager earlier this season, with owner Vincent Tan deciding Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had a better chance of keeping the club up than predecessor Malky Mackay. Tottenham also opted for a change at the top, with Tim Sherwood replacing Andre Villas-Boas in December. Meanwhile at Villa Park, Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert faces his former club Norwich City. The Scot guided his current side to a 1-0 win at Carrow Road when the sides met earlier this season. Another win would see Villa record a league double over the Canaries for the first time since the 1980-81 season, when they were crowned champions. The match between Swansea and Crystal Palace at the Liberty Stadium could prove to be a relegation six-pointer. The Swans have struggled this season, resulting in the departure of boss Michael Laudrup last month. Visitors Crystal Palace made a poor start to the campaign, but the recruitment of former Stoke manager Tony Pulis has given them a fighting chance of staying up. Mark and guests also look back at the goals from Saturday's matches.
