Here are the latest Liverpool evening headlines for Friday, October 9.
Premier League statement about new pay-per-view plans for Everton and Liverpool fans
The Premier League have revealed plans to make every top-flight match available through a pay-per-view service alongside Sky Sports and BT Sport.
The 2019/2020 season resumed in June, and every match was made available for fans to watch on TV through a variety of channels including Sky Sports, BT Sport, Amazon Prime and BBC.
A portion of those matches were made free-to-air, but that has not continued through into the new season, with the aim originally being to reintroduce supporters to stadiums by October.
Those hopes were dashed following a rise in COVID-19 cases, and now the league has responded with this plan.
A statement from the Premier League read: “The Premier League today confirmed all fixtures until the end of October will continue to be made available to fans to watch live in the UK.
“Under these new arrangements, the current live match selections will remain in place and will be broadcast as normal. In addition, the five matches per round not already selected will be made available to supporters on a pay-per-view basis, accessed via BT Sport Box Office and Sky Sports Box Office platforms.”
