The standout game both broadcasters would have wanted is Manchester United’s trip to face current champions Liverpool.
Jose Mourinho was sacked at United after losing at Anfield and given the dislike between the two sets of supporters it is a game that is always circled when the calendar is released.
In the first half of the month, Sky Sports will show 12 of the 16 matches, with BT Sport handed Everton vs West Ham on January 1, Tottenham vs Leeds and West Brom vs Arsenal on January 2, and Manchester City vs Brighton on January 13.
In the second half of the month the dominance flips with BT getting 15 matches live and exclusive, including Tottenham vs Liverpool on January 28 at 8pm.
Tottenham are box office and have had a home game vs Liverpool moved to a Thursday night
Boxing Day sees four games on BT Sport at two time points – a 6pm slot and an 8.15pm slot.
Brighton against Fulham and Newcastle hosting Leeds are the two early games while Arsenal’s trip to Southampton and Manchester City going to the Hawthorns to face West Brom complete the late game options.
Tottenham against Liverpool has been moved to an 8pm slot on Thursday, January 28.
