Two Swedish fans have been shot dead in Brussels before the game.

Sky has won a dead for the showing football. The new four-year deal will cover at least 215 Premier League matches each season from 2025/26 to 2028/29.

That's almost 60% of games will be live. So 60% of games can't be played at 3pm on a Saturday.

They need to change the law to allow Saturday afternoon games to be shown live.
