Gunners Clash Live On Sky(not ESPN)

Last updated : 05 December 2009 By Dan Buxton

The home fixture against Aresnal has been chosen for live TV coverage, thanks to Everton.

The Toffee's progression to the last 32 of the Europa League, confirmed with their 1-0 midweek win over AEK Athens, means that their game with Tottenham, that was initially pencilled in for ESPN coverage that day, has had to be moved to the following day and the Potters game has filled the void left behind.

This means the game keeps its original 27th February date but now kicks off at the later time of 5.30pm. Usually ESPN has this time slot but they have decided to screen the Everton game on Sunday and Sky have taken the 5.30pm ko slot for this week and chosen the Potters game for coverage.

Last season the hosts won this game by two goals to one as Fuller and Olofinjana netted from Rory Delap throw ins.

The Potters have already been on TV at home to Portsmouth and away to Hull whilst the home games with Liverpool and Wigan and trips to Sunderland and Portsmouth will all be televised before the Arsenal game. This means the Potters will have seven televised games in seventeen league games and also inbetween the Wolves home game in October and Aston Villa home game in the middle of March, there is only one 3pm Saturday home league game, Blackburn on February 6th.
