Sky Sports News goes off air: what happened to the channel before the EPL matches

According to The Sun: SKY SPORTS NEWS went silent just a few hours before Tottenham's trip to Leeds on Saturday, during a busy Premier League day.

Numerous fans planned to tune in to the channel for updates during the football feast, which includes several matches starting at 15:00.

The channel only showed a grey screen and an apology

Some fans relied on this channel as it was hard to follow the matches due to the 15:00 blackout rule. They were worried about the silence on air.

 

“We apologize for the temporary loss of our graphic service.”

The channel managed to resolve the broadcasting issues about 15 minutes later at 9:05 AM.

So, fans can breathe a sigh of relief as they prepare for a day filled with exciting matches.

Today’s Matches

Among the matches is Manchester United, who are facing a crisis, meeting Sunderland, who are showing decent form, at Old Trafford.

In London, title hopefuls Arsenal face West Ham in Nuno Espirito Santo's second game in charge.

Before that, Chelsea will compete against league leaders Liverpool at Stamford Bridge in a match that could be the most interesting today.

Fans hope for a convincing victory that could put an end to their unstable form.

However, for this to happen, they will have to overcome serious injury problems that have forced the team to do without some key players, including Cole Palmer.

Liverpool will likely also be without first-choice goalkeeper Alisson, with reserve goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili stepping in for his Premier League debut.
