Your support makes all the difference.The Premier League has confirmed the next batch of fixtures that will be spread across Sky Sports, BT Sport, Amazon Prime and the BBC, with the north London derby set to take place on Sunday 12 July and Southampton’s clash with Manchester City to be shown on terrestrial television on Sunday 5 July.
Arsenal resumed their season with a whimper on Wednesday night in the 3-0 defeat by Manchester City, and face a swift return to action with Brighton on Saturday before embarking on games against Southampton and Sheffield United.
However, fans will be most excited by the maiden trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the two north London rivals set to meet for the first time in Spurs’ new home on Sunday 12 July - a game that will be shown live on Sky Sports as well as Pick.
The two clubs face an uphill battle to qualify for the Champions League next season, with Jose Mourinho’s side currently in eight place in the Premier League table, seven points off certain qualification in the top four, while Arsenal are a further position behind and an additional point adrift.
Sky hold the majority of the remaining fixture rights and will broadcast more than half of the games between Saturday 4 and Monday 13 July with 21 live fixtures, beginning with Leicester vs Crystal Palace.
They will also show Liverpool’s clash with Aston Villa, which could prove to be Liverpool’s title homecoming to Anfield if they fail to beat both Everon and Crystal Palace in their next two games after City reduced the lead at the top to 22 points with 27 remaining.
The BBC has been allocated just one game for the two-week period, with Southampton’s tie against Pep Guardiola’s side set to be shown on terrestrial television on Sunday 5 July with a primetime evening kick-off.
However, Amazon Prime have also vowed to make their remaining games free-to-air, meaning that Everton vs Southampton on Thursday 9 July and Watford vs Newcastle on Saturday 11 July will be available to everyone.
BT Sport will pick up the remaining six matches, beginning with Norwich City vs Brighton on Saturday 4 July, with Manchester United’s clash with Bournemouth to follow on the same afternoon.
The remaining games from Tuesday 14 July through to the planned end of the season on the weekend of 25/26 July will be released in the coming weeks.
