The Premier League's new pay-per-view service that charges fans £14.95 a match will drive supporters towards illegal streams, says football finance expert Kieran Maguire.
England's top-flight announced that all matches in October will be broadcasted on TV, though games not chosen for the regular match times will be available via Sky Sports or BT Sport's Box Office channels.
Maguire, author of the 'Price of Football' book also claimed that Premier League clubs not normally picked for selection will not benefit as much as the bigger teams from this service.
Maguire told the BBC: 'It is going to drive people towards piracy (and) it discriminates against the clubs that don't tend to be on Sky Sports or BT that often.
