Premiership: Liverpool to show United game on the net

Liverpool have announced the first ever screening of a pay per view Premiership football match on the internet.

The forthcoming clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford will be available to watch on-demand from midnight on January 22.

The game will be available free to fans who subscribe to the club's 'E-Season Ticket' scheme, but will also be made available on a pay-per-view basis at a cost of £2.99.

Chief Executive Rick Parry told the club's website: "By showing the complete Manchester United v Liverpool game, we are giving our fans an additional opportunity to follow their club whether they are in Bootle or Bangkok."

The initiative is in conjunction with Granada Sport.
