Match of the Day to return to BBC on Saturday despite Premier League suspension

Match of the Day is set to return to BBC 1 and BBC iPlayer this weekend, despite the Premier League announcing there will be no games before April 30.

The Saturday night fix for football fans took a break last weekend due to the suspension of top tier football, but a host of programmes are set to be aired this weekend with 'interviews, debate and repeats of FA Cup classics'.

There will also be Football Focus at 12pm and a special FA Cup classics show with Guy Mowbray at 4pm, before MOTD returns at 10:20pm. It is being billed as 'Match of the Day: Top 10 Podcast' which means it will be a visualised version of the new podcast released by Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Ian Wright.
