BT Sport announces December Premier League games

The 35-year-old brought to an end a trophy-laden 17-year spell in Barcelona’s first team this summer, as he left to spend the twilight years of his playing career in Qatar with Al Sadd.

Our punters are not surprised that Manchester City and Arsenal, the current top-two in the Premier League, are dominating the passing statistics that were revealed today.

Four of Chelsea’s Premier League matches in December and January have been rescheduled after being selected for live television coverage, including the trip to face Manchester United.

Manchester United star Juan Mata believes that his former club Chelsea should still be considered contenders for the English Premier League (EPL) title, despite a poor start to the season.

The following day sees another match with Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City hosting Manchester City at 19:45 with the away side hoping they can regain the Barclays Premier League title this season after relinquishing it last season to Chelsea.

All fixtures are subject to change but it gives Arsenal fans plenty to wet their appetite, as these matches accompany the final four Champions League games on TV and the Gunners League Cup action could also be televised as they continue their campaign.

‘I know that other teams like Man City have emerged more recently, but Manchester United are my favourite historically speaking’.

No Old Trafford faithful would ever turn down the prospect of witnessing a midfield duo of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Xavi Hernandez don the famous red strip, but his comments have come few years late for Manchester United to plot any move for him.
