When the Premier League returns to our screens in just over a months time there will be a mighty battle between Sky and BT for your business as the two companies play a game of tug of war over who has the best football coverage. BT's sport channels will be free for their customers and has in the opening three months an impressive array of fixtures - certainly a more impressive line-up than ESPN has had in recent seasons. Sky retain most of the biggest fixtures in the early stages of the season such as Manchester United vs Chelsea (Aug 26) and Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur (Sept 1) but BT has big matches too in the form of Tottenham v Chelsea (Sept 28), the Merseyside derby (Nov 23) and Tottenham Hotspur vs Man Utd (Nov 30). The Independent's Sam Wallace also confirmed on
Twitter that the opening weekend, including David Moyes first game as United manager against Swansea will be broadcast free in the UK on Sky 2 and Pick TV channels. The full list of televised fixtures is below. Which game has your interest the most?
