Duration: 1 hour, 15 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Scotland

Mark Chapman introduces highlights from the day's three Premier League fixtures, in which Liverpool host Chelsea, Crystal Palace meet Manchester City and Sunderland play Cardiff.

Liverpool's hopes of securing a first league championship since 1990 will receive a major boost if they beat title rivals Chelsea at Anfield. The Reds have been the Premier League's most improved side this season, with Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge establishing themselves as arguably the most feared strike force in the top flight. Blues boss Jose Mourinho has repeatedly played down his chances of lifting the Premier League trophy this season, but victory at Anfield would be a potentially season-defining moment.

The third side in the title equation, Manchester City, face an awkward away game against Crystal Palace, who have already beaten Chelsea on home turf this season. The newly-promoted Eagles struggled at the start of the campaign but have been reinvigorated following the appointment of manager Tony Pulis.

The day's other game sees Sunderland take on Cardiff. Both sides have been embroiled in relegation struggles this season, and desperately need a win as they try to claw their way to safety.

Mark and guests also look back at the goals from yesterday's matches. Show less
