The Premier League have issued an apology to Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Leeds United and other clubs following a delay in confirming their broadcasting picks for January.

The league were due to announce the impacted fixtures for December and January in October, prior to the break for the World Cup in Qatar.

Broadcast picks for November, meanwhile, were confirmed in September.

The Premier League has cited issues with 'obtaining relevant local stakeholder approvals' as the reason behind the delay in announcing some fixtures, with the picks now released, and have apologised to supporters.
