Premier League 2013/14: Live TV games in January

Sky Sports and BT Sport have confirmed the Barclays Premier League games they will screen live during the first month of 2014.

January features several must-see fixtures, including Chelsea’s home clash with Manchester United, the Merseyside derby at Anfield, plus Newcastle United’s trip to Manchester City.

Eight more Premier League games have been added to the Sky Sports schedule during the month of January as it continues its biggest ever season of live football.

Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City all feature in its selections, which sees Sky Sports showing four live matches across back-to-back weekends in January.

Highlights include David Moyes’ Manchester United team head south to Stamford Bridge to play Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea on Sunday, January 19, plus high-flying Arsenal against Aston Villa – the side who beat them on the opening day of the season – on Monday, January 13.

BT Sport’s newly-confirmed live Barclays Premier League games in January will include the second of this season’s Merseyside derbies from Anfield on the evening of Tuesday, January 28.

The following day, BT Sport brings viewers a mouth-watering match between title hopefuls Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City on Wednesday, January 29.

These matches add to a strong line-up of live football on BT Sport in January, including seven matches from the FA Cup Third and Fourth Rounds.

BT Sport kicks off 2014 on New Year’s Day with the already announced double header of Southampton against Chelsea at 3.00pm followed by Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur at 5.30pm.

This is followed by a lunchtime kick off on January 18 with Sunderland v Southampton, both managed by South Americans in the shape of Sunderland’s Gus Poyet and Southampton’s Mauricio Pochettino.

Midweek coverage of the Merseyside derby on BT Sport on January 28 is always eagerly anticipated especially with both sides among the form sides this season.

On January 29, BT Sport brings fans exclusively live coverage of Tottenham Hotspur against Manchester City.

In the corresponding fixture at White Hart Lane last season, Villas-Boas’ men ran out 3-1 winners. Samir Nasri had given City the lead after five minutes, but with just 15 minutes left, three goals in seven minutes from Clint Dempsey, Jermain Defoe and Gareth Bale gave Spurs victory.

Simon Green, director of BT Sport, said: “We’re starting off the New Year in style with some fantastic top flight live fixtures that are guaranteed to warm up the fans.

“We have a great double header from the Barclays Premier League on New Year’s Day, just ahead of our Third Round FA Cup with Budweiser coverage, followed by what promises to be some intriguing and exciting Premier League clashes, that includes the second Merseyside derby of the season.

“And on top of that there’s the excitement of The FA Cup Fourth Round. We promised BT Sport viewers top class football action and that’s exactly what we’re delivering.”

Sky Sports is the place to enjoy live Premier League football on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays throughout the season with 116 games to be shown during this campaign.

BT Sport has the rights to show 38 exclusively live football matches from the Premier League, including 18 top picks for at least three seasons.

Both channels recently confirmed their list of live Premier League games over the festive period.
