Match of the Day will last just 20 minutes and have no commentary on Saturday night as the crisis surrounding the show deepened following Gary Lineker's suspension.
While the schedule remains untouched, with a 1hr 19mins programme still set to take place, the BBC have insisted the show will be shorter than normal. The description on the BBC website currently reads: "Highlights of the latest round of Premier League matches with Manchester City, Tottenham and Liverpool all in action.
"City were bidding to keep their title bid on track when they travelled to Crystal Palace, while Tottenham hosted Nottingham Forest, and Liverpool faced Bournemouth. Plus all the goals from Saturday’s other fixtures."
