Manchester City may have just been handed an advantage by Sky Sports and TNT Sports Premier League TV picks

The latest round of Premier League TV picks has been announced with new timeslots set for matchweek 36.

That round of fixtures will be played on the weekend of Saturday, May 9 and includes some potentially crucial games in the race for European places, the relegation fight - and, of course, perhaps even the title race.

With a nine-point lead over second-placed Manchester City (who have a game in hand) and a trip to the Etihad still to come, Arsenal will be hoping they will already have their hands on the trophy by then - but if it goes the way of Pep Guardiola's men, then the battle to be crowned Premier League champions could very well still be alive and kicking.

As you would expect, both Manchester City and Arsenal have been selected for live TV coverage that weekend, as they have been for every other game in the calendar beforehand.

City are set to visit Brentford on Saturday, May 9 at 5:30pm, while Arsenal will visit relegation-battling West Ham United the next day in a 4:30pm kick-off. Sky Sports will show both games.

The also features what could be a fascinating encounter between Liverpool and Chelsea on TNT Sports.

That game is currently scheduled for a 12:30pm kick-off on the Saturday, but would be moved to 8pm if Liverpool were to make it to the Champions League semi-finals by beating PSG over two legs in the quarter-finals.

That move would be made in a bid to adhere to a Premier League policy of leaving at least 60 hours between each side's games in all competitions.

As it stands, just one point separates fifth-placed Liverpool from sixth-placed Chelsea - and with a Champions League place likely to be available to the top five this season, it could end up being a vital game.

That leaves two timeslots to fill, and Sky are clearly hoping that Nottingham Forest are still in a relegation battle with three games to go: they have selected their clash with Newcastle United to be shown on Sunday at 2pm.

That may be a sensible precaution anyway, as Forest would have to play on the Sunday if they make it past Porto to reach the Europa League semi-finals.

Leeds United fans might meanwhile be irritated that their potential relegation six-pointer away to Tottenham has been moved to the evening of Monday, May 11.

That will mark the seventh time this season that Leeds have played a Premier League game on a Friday or Monday night, with the Whites joining Manchester United, Everton and West Ham in getting the thin end of the wedge on TV scheduling this season.

Brighton v Wolves, Burnley v Aston Villa, Crystal Palace v Everton, Fulham v Bournemouth, and Sunderland v Manchester United all remain in their Saturday 3pm timeslots - for now, at least.

The Villa and/or Palace games would need to be moved if ether side progress in the Europa League and Conference League, respectively.
