New Sky Sports Soccer Saturday pundits confirmed

Sky Sports today confirmed the new line up for Soccer Saturday following the departure of Matt Le Tissier, Charlie Nicholas and Phil Thompson.

Host Jeff Stelling will be joined by regulars Paul Merson, Chris Kamara, Sue Smith, Clinton Morrison, Alan McInally and Glen Johnson.

This season will also see the additions of some new studio guests including Adebayo Akinfenwa, Tim Sherwood, Robbie Fowler and Joleon Lescott.

Sky Sports will show over 140 Premier League games this season.

Patrice Evra, Roy Keane and Micah Richards will all play a regular part in Sky’s coverage joining presenters David Jones and Kelly Cates and fellow pundits Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Graeme Souness and Jamie Redknapp.

“With fans currently unable to attend matches in person, it is imperative we provide the best possible TV and digital coverage to our audiences,” said Gary Hughes, Director of Football at Sky Sports.

“Confirming Patrice, Micah and Roy to add to our existing line-up of award-winning pundits is brilliant news and we will strive to take the game closer to fans than ever before with increased live action, highlights and analysis.”

Leeds’ visit to the champions Liverpool on Saturday evening is Sky’s first live league game of the new season.
