Needless to say Liverpool v Chelsea during early November should eclipse all of them.”
Arsenal v Man City should get some good figures, 2 of last seasons top four.
QPR v Stoke is -- in all due respect -- the dud of the opening round of televised fixtures. I think BT will be expecting low figures and I think anything in the excess of 300,000 will be sound.
Agree the Merseyside derby will get big numbers, as will Man-Eve and Liv-Che.
New-Liv is a dark-horse for big viewing numbers with Newcastle having a very similar fan base number to Everton.
Man City v Spurs is a big game but is unlikely to get enormous viewing.
