Adrian Chiles presents highlights of the day's two Premier League games, as well as rounding up the rest of the weekend's action.

Lancashire clubs Burnley and Blackburn met at Turf Moor, where their rivalry began 122 years ago. Rovers romped to a 7-1 league win in that inaugural meeting and were unbeaten in their last seven matches with Burnley going into this game. A repeat scoreline was unlikely, however, given Blackburn's poor away form and Burnley's desperate need for points in their fight against relegation.

In the day's other game, Liverpool were vying to further their Champions League credentials at the expense of Sunderland at Anfield. Sunderland's form has nosedived in the five months since Darren Bent scored their infamous winning goal in the reverse fixture with a shot which deflected off a beach ball. Conversely, Liverpool's results have improved considerably since Christmas and they will be confident of preserving an unbeaten home run against Sunderland which dates back to 1983.
