Anyhow, last night's Everton game was postponed from December 30th, and in that matchweek they showed Man Utd v Burnley.Brekkie post_id=73542 time= user_id=976 Wrote:I'm guessing UEFA's stance about Premier League games clashing with Champions League fixtures has softened a bit, especially with covid to consider. There have been a few games in recent weeks though generally lower profile and on Thursdays vs the Europa League but Arsenal v Liverpool on Sky going head to head with Lille v Chelsea on BT has to be the biggest broadcasting clash between the Premier League and Champions League in their history.
I’m not sure if this is the reason but tonight’s Everton v Newcastle fixture is not being broadcast in Ireland - the rights to it are held by Premier Sports but it’s not in their listings (and they have no other live sport scheduled, just ice hockey repeats).
