Why is Tottenham vs Leicester not on TV in UK? How to watch Premier League match
Share:
Tottenham Hotspur host relegation-threatened Leicester City this afternoon with both sides in desperate need of three points. With Spurs currently in languishing in 15th place in the Premier League, boss Ange Postecoglou is under serious pressure following a disappointing 3-2 defeat against Everton.
With just eight points separating his side from the the bottom three, a win is crucial for Tottenham to distance themselves from any talk of an unthinkable relegation, and to improve the mood around an otherwise dire season so far. Leicester, now managed by Ruud van Nistelrooy, haven't tasted league victory since December, but that doesn't mean they won't fancy their chances against a predictably unpredictable Tottenham team. However, UK fans hoping to watch the match live on TV will be disappointed.
Due to Tottenham's Europa League commitments on Thursday, this match has been scheduled for a 2pm kick-off on Sunday. Fellow European participants Aston Villa and Manchester United are also in action this afternoon. But, with four matches taking place on Sunday, broadcasters Sky Sports and TNT Sports have chosen to air other games, leaving Spurs and Leicester fans unable to watch their teams live on TV from the UK.
Brentford's journey to Crystal Palace, scheduled for 2pm on Sunday, is Sky Sports' chosen match in that time slot and will be aired before Aston Villa vs West Ham at 4:30pm. Fulham vs United has been selected by TNT Sports and will be broadcast at 7pm, reports Football London.
