FA Cup

BT Sport has announced its first live FA Cup First Round fixture as it begins to broadcast the world’s oldest domestic cup competition for the first time.

AFC Wimbledon entertain Coventry City at the Kingsmeadow Stadium. The Dons, who only formed in 2002, have enjoyed a rapid rise with five promotions in nine seasons, are now managed by former Wimbledon FC favourite, Neal Ardley.

For League One side Coventry City, FA Cup Winners in 1987 after memorably beating Tottenham Hotspur 3-2, it has been a turbulent season having moved their home ground from the Ricoh Arena to Northampton Town's Sixfields Stadium.

Scottish Premiership

The four top teams at present in the Scottish Premiership - Celtic, Aberdeen, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Motherwell – will all feature on BT Sport over December.

BT Sport will showcase three clashes between the top four teams with league leaders Celtic facing tough away matches at both Inverness CT and Motherwell. Inverness CT will be particularly keen to gain revenge having been denied a famous win at Celtic Park earlier this season when Adam Matthews equalised for Celtic in the 82nd minute.

Terry Butcher’s men also face a stern test when they play Aberdeen at home on December 21.
