Sky Sports and BT Sport confirm festive TV schedule including no games on Christmas Eve – The Independent

Posted: Thursday, October 19, 2017

Sky Sports and BT Sport have revealed the televised fixture schedule for the festive period – and there are no games set for Christmas Eve.

The decision not to hold a fixture on December 24 is a significant victory for fans with a number of supporters’ groups voicing strong opposition to the proposed plans.

The first Manchester derby of the season, at Old Trafford on December 10, is the headline fixture while the Merseyside derby is scheduled for the same day kicking off at 2.15pm.

    How did the Premier League’s big seven clubs begin the new campaign?

    Everton (16th after 7 matches)

    Everton made a slow start to the season, despite spending over £133m on new signings. They drew with City before heavy defeats to Chelsea, Spurs and United.

    Liverpool (7th)

    Liverpool’s form remains as erratic as ever. A 4-0 win over Arsenal seemed to indicate that they had turned a corner, before a chastising 5-0 loss away to City.

    Arsenal (5th)

    The alarm bells were ringing after successive defeats to Stoke and then Liverpool. But Arsene Wenger’s side bounced back and held Chelsea to a draw at Stamford Bridge.

    Chelsea (4th)

    The defending champions have found things more difficult this season and lost two of their opening seven fixtures – to Burnley and Manchester City.

    Tottenham (3rd)

    Oh, if only Tottenham weren’t playing at Wembley. Their away form has been superb with four wins out of four but they remain without a win at Wembley.

    Manchester United (2nd)

    United have finally found a way to turn draws into wins. A 4-0 victory over Everton is the highlight so far; a 2-2 draw with Stoke the only blot on their copybook.

    Manchester City (1st)

    The Premier League leaders on goal difference. City have been in scintillating form, winning six of their opening seven matches and scoring no fewer than 22 goals.
