Highlights of today’s two Premier League matches. Aston Villa host Tottenham, while Arsenal are in action against Newcastle. Tottenham came from behind to beat Villa 3-1 on the opening weekend, but inconsistent form during the autumn eventually saw manager Mauricio Pochettino replaced by Jose Mourinho. If Mourinho is to guide Spurs to European qualification, they may need to beat a Villa side who have spent most of the season battling relegation. It’s a similar story for Arsenal, who sacked head coach Unai Emery in November, replacing him with Mikel Arteta. His team will need to be wary against a Newcastle side who have already beaten Chelsea, Manchester United and Spurs this season. There is also analysis of the goals and incidents from the rest of the weekend’s matches.
