Premier League midweek games are all on one TV channel ahead of decisive round - Teesside Live
Description

The Premier League returns for another round of midweek games that could prove decisive at both ends of the table. There are six games to be played across March 4-5 and they’re all airing live on one channel.

The results could have huge implications come the end of May, especially for those fighting to avoid relegation. On Thursday, Tottenham Hotspur host Crystal Palace in a must-win fixture where anything less than a win could see them drop closer to the bottom three.

Spurs are on a run of 10 Premier League games without a win, with their only victories this year both coming in the Champions League. New boss Igor Tudor failed to lead his team to victory in their 2-1 loss to Fulham and their 4-1 defeat to Arsenal.

This week, every Premier League fixture will be shown live on TNT Sports and discovery+, which fans can access on Prime Video’s TNT Sports channel or the discovery+ app with a TNT Sports subscription. This costs £30.99 on a rolling monthly basis and also includes all the FA Cup fifth round games across March 6-9.

The channel will also broadcast the upcoming Champions League and Europa League games, including Atletico Madrid vs Arsenal (March 10), PSG vs Chelsea (March 11) and Real Madrid vs Man City (March 10). However, it will not show Newcastle vs Barcelona on March 10, as Amazon’s Prime Video holds the exclusive rights for this game.

Here’s every Premier League game airing on TNT Sports this week:

Wednesday, March 4

Fulham vs West Ham– 7.30pm KO

Aston Villa vs Chelsea – 7.30pm KO

Man City vs Nottingham Forest – 7.30pm KO

Brighton vs Arsenal – 7.30pm KO

Newcastle vs Man United – 8.15pm KO

Thursday, March 5

Boro 'ready' to make Spurs offer as competition grows for hot prospect - Teesside Live
Description

Middlesbrough are set to firm up their interest in Tottenham youngster Will Lankshear with a firm loan contract offer to the striker. Boro have long been linked with a loan move for the 19-year-old, with a deal said to be on the cards this summer.

The club will be cautious over their loan options in the coming transfer window, with permanent deals thought to take priority when it comes to time spent on deals, but with interest in Lankshear now growing from elsewhere, reports suggest Boro will make their move.

The striker has yet to play for the Spurs first-team, but has impressed as Under-21 level with Tottenham looking for him to take the next step in his development. A loan move to a Championship side would seem to fit the bill and former Spurs midfielder Michael Carrick is already gaining a strong reputation for developing talent.

Boro are looking at the striker options this summer, with Emmanuel Latte Lath the only real out-and-out striker at the club. Josh Coburn managed five goals in 25 appearances last term, and will be another Carrick will look to develop in the coming campaign.

Lankshear scored an impressive 25 goals in just 26 appearances in Premier League 2 and the EFL Trophy for Spurs last season and has become hot property in North London. The former Sheffield United youngster cost Spurs £2m in 2022 when aged just 17, and has played for England at Under-19 level, scoring three times in just five games.

He seems set to leave Spurs on a temporary deal this summer, with Boro said to be at the head of the queue for his signature. It would be their third summer signing of the window, following Luke Ayling and the expected arrival of Aidan Morris from Columnus Crew.
