Aside from the two Spurs home games (against Chelsea and Man U) and the Merseyside derby (not the match it once was) there's previous little there I personally would sign up for. Meanwhile the Sky Sports matches seem to still be the ones worth paying for:

I was thinking the same, not exactly the most interesting games. I thought BT Sports had first pick?
They do have first pick for a certain number of games but Sky also have a number of games for first pick. It would seem that Sky have 'front-loaded' their schedule with the 'top' games and BT Sport are saving theirs up to use later in the season. Could be a slightly risky strategy for both of them!
That's correct. See my later post for more details
People keep referring to games and BT Sports, Do they mean Football what about Rugby
I don't follow rugby or any other sports, so I can't really comment on rugby coverage or fixtures on BT Sport. Sorry.
