BBC's Match of the Day continues under Gary Lineker's stewardship again this Saturday night, with the weekend's Premier League action set for a thrilling highlights slot.

Match of the Day will show five games this Saturday, on the last match day in November. There's some great games to look forward to, too, with Arsenal's trip to the London Stadium to take on West Ham a real test of their title credentials, while results for teams at the bottom could make the relegation battle that little bit clearer.

Match of the Day 2 will also round up Sunday's games, with Liverpool vs Manchester City the pick of the bunch. Can Pep Guardiola arrest his side's dismal run of three successive Premier League defeats, or will Arne Slot's Liverpool go 11 points clear of the champions? Find out this weekend.

Gary Lineker is set to present Match of the Day this weekend.

Former England striker Lineker has been the face of Match of the Day since replacing Des Lynam in 1999. Almost a quarter of a century later, Lineker is still going strong and has become synonymous with the programme, though he announced earlier this month that he will step down at the end of the season.

Mark Chapman is set to present Match of the Day 2 this weekend.

Chapman has been associated with the BBC for some time, having initially presented on BBC Radio 5 Live before becoming a stand-in presenter on Match of the Day 2 in 2009. Chapman has more often than not been the main presenter on the Sunday night show but has also stood in for Lineker if the former England international has work commitments elsewhere. Chapman also now splits his duties with the BBC with presenting Sky Sports’ live Carabao Cup coverage.

Watch Match of the Day this weekend

Watch the BBC – wherever you are in the world

Watch the BBC – wherever you are in the world

In the UK, you can get free access to BBC channels on television and on iPlayer just by confirming you have a TV license.

When you're out of the country, you can still watch the BBC, but you'll need a VPN to access it – FourFourTwo recommends ExpressVPN, which you can get for £5.92 a month, plus three months free.

Use a VPN to watch Match of the Day from outside your country

If you’re out of the country on a Saturday night (go you!) then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:

ExpressVPN including a 30-day, money-back guarantee

ExpressVPN including a 30-day, money-back guarantee

FourFourTwo’s brainy office mates TechRadar love its super speedy connections, trustworthy security and the fact it works with Android, Apple, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PS4 and loads more. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support and it's currently available for a knockdown price. Go get it!
