middleoftheshed 388 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Nine of our Barclays Premier League games next season have been moved for live television coverage. In the first round of choices from the rights holders, which takes us up to the end of November, we will feature seven times on Sky and twice on ESPN. Our opening day fixture against West Bromwich Albion at Stamford Bridge, which will mark Roberto Di Matteo's return to the club, will now kick-off at 5.30pm and will be broadcast on ESPN. A week later we travel to Wigan at 5.15 on Sky, before Blackpool are Sunday visitors on September 19 for a 4pm Sky kick-off. That is the first of four consecutive league games to be live on TV, the others being Manchester City away (September 25, 12.45, Sky), Arsenal at home (October 3, 4pm, Sky) and Aston Villa away (October 16, 5.30pm, ESPN). We travel to Liverpool on Sunday, November 7 at 4pm for another Sky fixture, before Sunderland come to the Bridge a week later for a 4.10pm kick-off. Finally we travel to promoted Newcastle United on Sunday, November 28 for a 1.30pm Sky match.Man City and Newcastle away early kick offs, sky thinking of the fans again.
