Adrian Chiles presents highlights from the day's Premier League games. There is also a roundup of the previous day's action and a look at the lighter side of football in 2Good, 2Bad.

Liverpool and Aston Villa meet at Anfield with both clubs hoping to seal Champions League football for next season. History suggests Martin O'Neill's side will struggle to secure all three points in Merseyside, Villa haven't beaten Liverpool since the 2001/02 season. However, this young Villa side have surprised many this campaign, so could it be time for them to finally put their Liverpool hoodoo to bed?

In the day's other game, Wigan host Hull at the JJB Stadium. It is a fixture that has taken place in Rugby League for many a year, yet it is only the second time the two clubs have met in the top flight of English football. Wigan inflicted Hull's first ever Premier League defeat when they won 5-0 at the KC Stadium in August 2008, so the Tigers will be eager for revenge when they head west across the M62. Show less
