A round-up of the weekend's football action.
There is no Next Episode of Match of the Day 2 planned.
S2024E29 - 04/05/2025
Mark Chapman introduces highlights of the day's four Premier League games, which include a clash between long-standing rivals Chelsea and Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
These sides have had contrasting seasons under two bosses who are in their debut campaigns in charge of a Premier League club. While Chelsea's form under Enzo Maresca has been up and down, Arne Slot has led Liverpool on an unstoppable march towards a record-equalling 20th top-flight title.
Also today, Newcastle's quest for a return to the Champions League sees the Geordies face a tricky trip to the south coast to take on Brighton, Brentford host a beleaguered Manchester United, and West Ham take on fierce rivals Tottenham.
Mark and his guests will also look back at all the goals and talking points from the rest of the weekend's matches.
