Sky Sports has added 10 live Premier League matches to its 2016 schedule - including the Merseyside derby and Chelsea's meetings with Manchester United and Arsenal.
As part of a newly-announced batch of fixtures for February, Sky Sports will show even more of the biggest games featuring 14 different teams - including Louis van Gaal's United at Stamford Bridge and Manuel Pellegrini's Manchester City at home to Tottenham Hotspur.
Bournemouth, recently victorious over Chelsea and Man Utd in the same week, welcome Arsenal to the Vitality Stadium at the beginning of the month, while Arsene Wenger's side round off the month at Old Trafford.
A mouthwatering selection also includes - unless either side reaches the Capital One Cup Final - the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton at Anfield.
The matches are part of an unrivalled schedule of sport through the festive period and into 2016, with live England Test cricket from South Africa, the William Hill World Darts Championship on the recently announced Sky Sports Darts channel, and the Capital One Cup semi-finals.
Sky Sports head of football Gary Hughes said: "Sky Sports is the only place to see all the stories of an increasingly unpredictable Premier League season, with drama every weekend.
"By March, there will still be 41 Premier League games to come on Sky Sports, and we will be the place to see the thrilling climax to a fantastic season."
The live matches are part of 116 Premier League fixtures to be shown exclusively live on Sky Sports this season with unrivalled analysis from Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, Jamie Redknapp and Graeme Souness.
Sky Sports viewers are enjoying another huge season of live football, including 127 matches from the Football League - more than ever before - 300 matches from La Liga, the Capital One Cup, action from Scotland in the SPFL and Scottish Cup, as well as MLS and Eredivisie.
Sky Sports will offer at least four more seasons of the Premier League, with 116 live games this season increasing to 126 each term from the 2016/17 season.
