: Match of the Day
All the goals and key moments from the day's Premiership games, including highlights of the match at Old Trafford between Manchester United and Aston Villa. On New Year's Day in 1996 Manchester United lost 4-1 at Tottenham, their heaviest defeat of the season.They followed that game with a 12-match unbeaten run in the Premiership that knocked Newcastle off the top of the table. Alex Ferguson's team will be looking for a similar run, but a lot will depend on whether Eric Cantona can rediscover the form that helped Manchester United to their second league and Cup double last season.
Aston Villa were seen as championship contenders at the start of the season, but a lack of firepower up front has so far undermined their challenge. Commentators are Jon Champion, Barry Davies and Tony Gubba. Introduced by Desmond Lynam with Trevor Brooking.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
Welcome to BBC Genome
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers, images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
