The international break is over, and the Premier League is back this weekend. Matchweek 6 runs from Saturday 10 October to Monday 12 October, and there are a few games worth clearing your morning for.
The fixtures
Saturday 10 October
- Arsenal v Leeds United — 12:30 UK
- Chelsea v Bournemouth — 14:00 UK
- Manchester United v Tottenham — 17:30 UK
Sunday 11 October
- Crystal Palace v Nottingham Forest — 14:00 UK
- Liverpool v Manchester City — 16:30 UK
Monday 12 October
- Coventry City v Newcastle United — 20:00 UK
Kick-offs are in UK time, so if you are in Europe add an hour, and if you are in the US you are looking at a morning start. That is the annoying part of following the Premier League from abroad — not the football, but the clock.
What to watch
Liverpool against Manchester City is the standout. Two of the best squads in the league, and a game that usually decides who sets the pace early on. Arsenal at home to Leeds should be comfortable on paper, but early kick-offs after an international break are never as safe as they look. And United against Spurs on Saturday evening is the kind of match that can go anywhere.
The problem for expats
Most broadcasters lock their streams to one country. The channel that shows the match back home will not open when you are sitting in Spain, Canada or Australia. You get an error, or a blank screen, or a polite message about your region. It happens to every expat at some point.
An IPTV subscription solves the boring part of that. The channels that carry the Premier League from home arrive in one place, on your TV, laptop or phone. No VPN roulette, no hunting for a working stream ten minutes before kick-off. If you want to see whether your own channels are covered, start a free 24-hour test and check before Saturday.
