Gary Neville, Sky Sports analyst commented: “I can’t wait for the new season and I can’t wait for Sky’s live matches. There’s so many stand out fixtures here to look forward to, including must-see head to heads, big tests for the top four and all the promoted sides. We’ll see all the teams at least three times, visit all the grounds and tell the complete Premier League story throughout the opening three months and beyond. I can’t wait to get back into the studio.”
Meanwhile, BT Sport will show Van Gaal’s first league game as the new Manchester United manager exclusively live on the opening day of the new Barclays Premier League season.
The BT Sport channels, which are free for a second season for BT broadband customers, will show current champions Manchester City three times in the Barclays Premier League during its initial selection of TV matches, as well as their FA Community Shield match versus Arsenal.

Simon Green, head of BT Sport, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have secured some superb matches for the start of the 2014/15 season. On the opening day of the season, all eyes will be on Louis van Gaal fresh from the Netherlands’ World Cup efforts and the start of his tenure with Manchester United. We’ll show the current title holders Manchester City four times before October ends, including the fascinating clash with Arsenal, and both teams also meet exclusively live on BT Sport in the FA Community Shield on Sunday, August 10th. We’ll also have plenty of games involving top teams playing each other. One that really catches the eye is when Chelsea travel to Anfield on November 8th.
