Manchester derby on BT Sport: Man Utd vs Man City and Liverpool vs Chelsea headline live Premier League coverage for January

BT Sport will showcase live coverage of the Manchester derby for the first time ever in the first of two huge Premier League games on the channel in January.

2023 on BT Sport continues with a second unmissable game as Liverpool play host to Graham Potter's Chelsea seven days later. 

Erik Ten Hag's Red Devils will be desperate to give a better account of themselves when they welcome near neighbours Man City to Old Trafford for the second Manchester derby of the season.

Ten Hag's first experience of the bitter local rivalry ended in humiliation as Phil Foden and Erling Haaland both notched hat-tricks in a 6-3 victory for City at the Etihad. 

Premier League games on BT Sport post-World Cup

Meanwhile champions Man City will be keen to keep in touch with league leaders Arsenal. 

City and Arsenal have been neck and neck across the opening three months of the campaign, but Pep Guardiola's side became the first side to blink as they suffered a shock defeat at home to Brentford. 

Ivan Toney responded to being overlooked for England's World Cup squad by delivering a stellar two-goal performance, including a 98th-minute winner. 

The result means holders City are five points adrift of top-of-the-table Arsenal and six clear of United, who sit three places below them in fifth. 

Seven days later the BT Sport cameras make the short trip west to Anfield where Liverpool will be hoping to continue their recovery from an injury-plagued start to the season against Chelsea. 

Just months after narrowly missing out on an unprecedented quadruple, Jurgen Klopp's side have struggled to reach the heights of last season. 

The Reds took four games to claim their first Premier League win and are still some way off their best as the mid-season break begins. 

Klopp will be hopeful the likes of Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota will be fit and injury-free when the Premier League resumes on Boxing Day.

Liverpool face an early test of their top-four ambitions just three weeks into 2023 as they entertain Graham Potter's Chelsea in a must-see midday encounter.
