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.

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.
