We are always looking to offer new features and in depth analysis for our viewers to enjoy.
The seasons finale will be a momentous day for some premiership teams, and a tragic one for some others but that is the glory of football and the Barclays Premier League in particular. Through this initiative we aim to guarantee our audience feels every part of the story as it unfolds in different parts of the UK, hence the reason for this big end-of-season operation.
The investment and thought that goes into these special coverage features is aimed at delivering an unprecedented amount of original Arabic punditry on the final day of what has been one of the most exciting Premier League seasons ever, and the first in which AD Sports have been involved.
