Following Chelsea’s 6-0 win over Everton on Monday Night Football, the broadcaster provided viewers with their customary update of how things now lie, but only after appearing to factor in the results of two games not even played yet.

Bizarrely, Arsenal were shown as having played 33 games and not 32, one more than leaders Manchester City.

Their goal difference read +47, despite it actually being on +49 after the loss to Aston Villa last Sunday.

The gaffe was quickly pounced upon by fans of the Gunners, joking that they now feared another two-goal loss this weekend that will effectively end their title chances.

And fans of the Reds will be hoping the ‘prediction’ doesn’t ring true, given it would mean come Monday they too will be on 33 games played having narrowly lost, with their points tally still 71 but their goal difference down from +41 to +40.

Even stranger than that though, the premature three points awarded to the Cottagers had them placed 10th, up from their current position of 12th.

But despite Liverpool’s goal difference only going down one, Fulham’s rises from -2 to zero, suggesting as well as winning they find a bonus goal from somewhere.

A number of Man City fans amusingly lauded the new table, having been inadvertently given a game in hand after returning to the top of the table.

In December, the Premier League finalised a new four-year deal with both companies, as well as the BBC, over the rights to show live football and free-to-air highlights from the 2025/26 season onwards.

It was duly announced Sky Sports will cover a minimum of 215 live matches per season, and for the first time, will broadcast all 10 matches on the final day of the campaign.

TNT Sports meanwhile, will cover 52 live matches per season.
