Gary Lineker introduces the best of the action and reaction from the Premier League, with studio guests Alan Hansen and Alan Shearer providing expert analysis. Title challengers Manchester City face a Sunderland side that beat them on New Year's Day courtesy of Ji Dong-won's stoppage-time winner. However, City boast a formidable record at the Etihad Stadium and have won all seven previous Premier League meetings with Sunderland at home. At the other end of the table, relegation-threatened Wolves and Bolton met at Molineux, while fellow strugglers Wigan hosted Stoke. And in fixtures affecting issues near the top and bottom, QPR faced Arsenal and Aston Villa played Chelsea.
