ESPN LIVE BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE MATCHES FOR APRIL
ESPN has announced the latest Barclays Premier League fixtures it will broadcast exclusively live as the season begins to reach a climax.
On Sunday 7th April at 2pm, ESPN will bring fans live and exclusive coverage of a clash between two sides set to be locked in a battle for top four – Tottenham Hotspur v Everton. Spurs narrowly missed out on a UEFA Champions League qualifying spot last season, placing new manager Andre Villas-Boas under pressure in his first season to make Europe’s top club competition next season. Everton, meanwhile, have enjoyed one of their strongest starts to a season under manager David Moyes but will be looking for a strong season-end to fulfil the promise his side have regularly posed during his tenure.
On Saturday 27th April at 4.30pm, ESPN will air live and exclusive coverage of Newcastle v Liverpool. The game will be Newcastle’s penultimate home match, and Alan Pardew’s men will be keen for points to keep them away from the relegation zone after a difficult season. Liverpool have also struggled to find consistency during Brendan Rodgers’ first campaign in charge, but will hope that with a win here they could still have a chance of snatching a European place.
The new game joins a host of live football on ESPN during the coming months, including the Fifth and Sixth Rounds of the FA Cup, the Clydesdale Bank Premier League, plus Rangers matches from the Irn-Bru Scottish Football League. In addition to top British football, ESPN will bring fans televised coverage of European leagues including Germany’s Bundesliga, Italy’s Serie A, France’s Ligue 1, and the UEFA Europa League.
