Fulham v Southampton: is the Premier League fixture being screened live, how to watch highlights

The Premier League once again returns this weekend with an elongated series of fixtures spanning into early next week. The fixtures include the latest home game for London club Fulham FC as they face Southampton at Craven Cottage on Saturday January 31 2022.

It was a good return from the World Cup for Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, who once again scored in the Premier League as the Cottagers overcame London rivals Crystal Palace 3-0 at Selhurst Park. The scrappy affair also saw goals from Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Tim Ream, while Crystal Palace saw both Tyrick Mitchell and James Tomkins sent off.

After parting company with beleaguered manager Ralph Hasenhuttll, Southampton are still undergoing a rocky ride this season in the Premier League. The Saints have lost the last four of their five games, including conceding ten goals in their last three games.

While Fulham are riding high in 9th position in the Premier League table, Southampton find themselves rooted to the bottom and in danger of a lengthy relegation battle. Though fortune favours Southampton given the last five Premier League games where the pair have encountered each other.

Southampton have won three of the last five head-to-head clashes with Fulham, including a 3-1 victory in 2021. But with the strength of Fulham since returning to the top flight, is it a bit too much of an ask for Southampton?

Londonworld takes a look at the ways, if any, you can watch Fulham’s home game against Southampton in the latest Premier League gameweek.

Will Fulham v Southampton be screened live on TV?

Fulham vs Southampton has been selected for a 3pm kick-off time on Saturday and so it won’t be shown live on UK television. This is to comply with the ‘blackout’ regulation on televised coverage between 2:45pm and 5:15pm on a Saturday.

Under the rules, broadcasting rights are restricted for clubs in the UK, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man. Not all is lost, though, as highlights will be available for Sky Sports subscribers on the Sky Sports app around 15-30 minutes after the final whistle.

The flagship BBC show Match of the Day will also show extensive highlights of the game along with all the other Friday and Saturday fixtures on BBC One on Saturday evening at 10pm, and then available on the BBC iPlayer.
