REVEALED: Why there is NO 12.30pm kick-off in the Premier League for a second Saturday lunchtime running

There will be no 12.30pm kick-off in the Premier League this Saturday for the second week running.

Most weeks, Premier League fans are able to tuck into an early afternoon football fest on TNT Sports.

It's a luxury that follows Football Focus on the BBC and is followed by every breathless update for the 3pm games from Soccer Saturday on Sky Sports.

However, supporters will once again be left bereft until 3pm.

Last weekend, there was no clash at 12.30pm because Arsenal had played at Porto in the Champions League, so they faced Newcastle on Saturday night instead of in the afternoon.
