Details of February’s live televised Barclays Premier League games have been confirmed by Sky Sports and BT Sport as the 2013/14 season takes shape.
Sky Sports has added nine live Barclays Premier League matches to its line-up for February as it continues its biggest-ever season of live football.
Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City all feature in the broadcaster’s selections.
Highlights include Chelsea’s trip to Manchester City on Monday, February 3, plus the second instalment of the Welsh derby between Swansea and Cardiff live from the Liberty Stadium on Saturday, February 8.
BT Sport’s selection of live games includes four of the current top five teams, as well as reigning champions Manchester United, as the Premier League’s newest broadcaster starts to take advantage of its first pick match choices.
The matches include the high profile clash at the Emirates between current Premier League leaders Arsenal and Manchester United on Wednesday, February 12.
Ten days later, BT Sport brings viewers the fixture between Jose Mourinho’s title chasing Chelsea and Roberto Martinez’s fifth placed Everton at Stamford Bridge.
Everton’s Merseyside rivals Liverpool also feature on BT Sport in the mouthwatering match against high flying Arsenal on Saturday, February 8, at Anfield.
Both the Liverpool v Arsenal and Arsenal v Manchester United matches on BT Sport will be the first time that their corresponding Premier League fixtures have been shown live in the UK on a channel other than Sky Sports.
Simon Green, director of BT Sport, said: “The top class games keep coming with BT Sport. We have some fabulous top flight live fixtures in February, with league leaders Arsenal taking on both Liverpool and Manchester United.
“We also have what should a terrific match between second placed Chelsea and in-form Everton. Not forgetting, of course, the games at Upton Park and Cardiff.
“We promised BT Sport viewers top class football action and that’s exactly what we’re delivering.”
The Premier League games add to a strong line-up of live football on BT Sport in February, which will also include action from the fourth and fifth rounds of the FA Cup.
Sky Sports is the only place to enjoy live Barclays Premier League football on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays throughout the season with 116 games to be shown during this campaign.
