Will be interesting to see what happens next week as Darren Fletcher tweeted he will be at the first NFL game on Sunday the same day as BT are showing Man Utd Stoke.

Wonder if he will do both meaning a quick dash from Old Trafford to where ever the game is taking place.

If i got the dates all wrong feel free to call me a numpty!
The NFL match starts at 2:30pm so pretty much impossible to do in 30 minutes to get to Wembley, fair to say that Darke will be on commentary for that game.

Close as far as Darke is concerned, he is covering Leicester again but also Man Utd on Thurs.
Bit odd that. Thought either Darke or Fletcher would get the two games being played in England but hey ho. It might be that Fletcher gets the week's standout game while Darke gets the best match on the other night.
It would look like then Drury and Champion as regular commentators on the second choice matches and to be fair, as far as 4 leading commentators go, that is quite a strong bunch BT have assembled.

I didn't think it was that odd to be fair, Leicester is the stand out game on Tues so no surprise Darke picked it up again as no doubt Fletcher will be covering either Man City or Arsenal on Weds.
Only question remains if Derek Rae still gets to cover Celtic or indeed if Fletcher takes over, if he does then probably Peter Drury will cover Arsenal and Rae moved on to a top German club tie for the night.

Although not a clash of the heavyweights, least Darke gets the stand out tie on Thursday covering Man Utd.

GNev confirmed Carragher is on the gantry.

Surprisingly, Patrick Davidson is the pitchside reporter.
