THE SCRAMBLE FOR the Premier League title looks set to descend into a three-horse race this Spring, with many of the season’s closing marquee fixtures set to be shown live on Sky Sports.
A win for Tottenham this Saturday afternoon will cut the gap at the top of the league to just two points, with Liverpool making the difficult trip to Old Trafford and City focusing on their Carabao Cup final date with Chelsea on Sunday.
Today, Sky announced its broadcast schedule for April which includes Manchester City’s clash with title rivals Spurs at the Etihad on 20 April and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first Manchester derby on 24 April.
The broadcaster also revealed the five 3pm fixtures which will be available exclusively to Irish customers.
