West Ham vs Tottenham sees Sky's Friday Night Football return after five months... so, what is going on with the Premier League's forgotten time slot?

Friday Night Football returns on Sky Sports - after an absence from our screens of almost five months.

Sky will host this weekend's opening fixture, anchored by Jeff Stelling and Rachel Riley, for the first time since December 30 as the pair provide their 'lighter and more humorous' take on West Ham vs Tottenham.

Friday night is a time slot that has been plagued by mixed viewing figures and scheduling problems, leaving the broadcasters to fill just six of their permitted 10-fixture allocation, but it now makes a late-season return in the final few weeks.
