Saturday Night Football: David Jones explains new Sky Sports format

This weekend sees the launch of an exciting new programme on Sky Sports as Saturday Night Football airs for the first time with coverage of Swansea v Manchester United. But what can we expect from this new format? We caught up with presenter David Jones to find out...

What is Saturday Night Football Team Talk? DAVID JONES: That is Saturday Night Football's baby brother. We will actually be on air at 2.30pm straight after the FL72 game and within that half hour-hour slot we will do a comprehensive round up of the team news for the 3pm kick offs. By the time we've got to 3pm you will know who is playing, heard the big talking points and you may hear interviews from one or two managers on their selection decisions. Then we go away for a couple of hours, and viewers will go back to Jeff Stelling and the Soccer Saturday boys between 3pm and 5pm, and then we pick up just before 5pm on Sky Sports 1 when we start to look ahead to our game at 5.30pm Will you be discussing the 3pm kick-offs on the main show? DAVID JONES: An important part of our programme is the first 10 or 15 minutes of wrapping up what has happened at 3pm. We'll do it a different way again to the guys on Soccer Saturday. It will be a very newsy and fast-paced here-there-and-everywhere 10 minutes when we will be flying by the seat of our pants a little bit. But we hope as part of that programme to bring you a live manager reaction to a game that has finished at 5pm, which we haven't been able to do before. But always in the back of our minds is building up to 5.30pm which on the first weekend will be Swansea v Manchester United. That obviously demands our respect and attention as it's David Moyes' first game in charge. Will we be able to see highlights of the 3pm games? DAVID JONES: At 8pm we will be going straight over to Game of The Day with Sarah-Jane Mee in the same studio. If there is a game at 3pm which has wowed everyone, we will tell everyone: 'you need to be watching this game at 8pm'. Then at 10pm they will bring you the match choice of all the games that have been on that day. So from 10am through to midnight it is football all the way on Sky Sports 1. You'll get square eyes!
