A round-up of the weekend's football action.
There is no Next Episode of Match of the Day 2 planned.
S2024E23 - 09/03/2025
Join Mark Chapman and guests for comprehensive highlights of the day's three Premier League matches, headlined by a heavyweight clash between old rivals Manchester United and Arsenal.
This is a fixture that has produced some of the biggest and most significant games in English top-flight history. The Gunners have firmly grabbed the ascendancy in recent years and will be confident of a fifth straight league win over the struggling Red Devils. However, Ruben Amorim's side will take heart from their victory on penalties over Mikel Arteta's team in the FA Cup third round in January.
The day's other games see Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca face his former side Leicester City and Tottenham take on Champions League-chasing Bournemouth.

S2024E24 - 16/03/2025
Jason Mohammad introduces highlights of the day's three Premier League games, including a London derby between Arsenal and Chelsea. Arsenal won this fixture 5-0 when the sides met at the Emirates Stadium last season, but the Gunners are without several key attacking players, with injuries denting their hopes of chasing down leaders Liverpool. Chelsea, meanwhile, need points in the race to qualify for next season's Champions League.
There's another London derby at Craven Cottage, where Fulham host Tottenham, while relegation-threatened Leicester City meet Manchester United. The Red Devils won November's reverse fixture 3-0, when Ruud van Nistelrooy was their interim manager. The Dutchman has since been appointed Leicester boss, but so far he has struggled to improve their fortunes.
Jason and his guests will also look back at all the goals and talking points from Saturday's five matches.

S2024E25 - 06/04/2025
Mark Chapman presents highlights from a bumper Sunday of Premier League action, featuring the always-enthralling clash between Manchester United and Manchester City.
United's last-gasp victory at the Etihad in the reverse fixture in December has arguably been the highlight of Ruben Amorim's difficult early tenure, particularly given it came after he made the difficult decision to drop Marcus Rashford.
The Red Devils also defeated Pep Guardiola's side in last season's FA Cup final, although City were convincing winners on their last league trip to Old Trafford in October 2023.
You can also see what happened in the day's other three fixtures, including Brentford against Chelsea, Fulham v Liverpool and Tottenham's meeting with Southampton.
