List: Live Premier League games
Television broadcasters Sky Sports and ESPN have revealed their live football schedule for the first four months of the 2010/11 Premier League campaign.
The season starts with Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City, live on Sky Sports HD2 on Saturday August 14. The first Ford Super Sunday of the season will be Liverpool vs Arsenal, live on Sky Sports HD1, followed by the return of Ford Monday Night Football between Manchester United and Newcastle United on Sky Sports HD1 on August 16.
ESPN begin their coverage with defending champions Chelsea taking on newly-promoted West Bromwich Albion. The fixture will see former Chelsea player Roberto Di Matteo make his Barclays Premier League managerial debut as his West Brom team travel to Stamford Bridge in the hope of causing an opening day upset.
In August, ESPN’s handpicked selection of exclusively live matches include Championship winners Newcastle United as they host Martin O’Neill’s Aston Villa, and renewing old rivalries, Avram Grant takes his new side, West Ham United, to Old Trafford as they visit Manchester United.
