What is Premier League Juniors on Sky Sports during Brentford v Liverpool

Liverpool fans planning on watching this evening's trip to Brentford from the comfort of their own homes might be surprised to see a slightly younger panel than usual on Sky Sports.

That's because tonight's broadcast, titled Premier League Juniors, has invited four young football fans to take the reins for a special new year presentation.

Regular Sky Sports presenter Kelly Cates will be joined by two young fans from each club, coming from Hounslow schools or schools who work with the Liverpool FC Foundation - they are Naveed, Rishi, Delilah and Aman.

The four budding football fans will undertake a variety of roles during the show including presenting, interviewing managers and players, as well as commentating on the game itself.

Sky Sports' director of football, Gary Hughes, said of the event: "The younger generation are the future of Sky Sports and Premier League Juniors will put them front and centre of our coverage. We hope to inspire kids up and down the country. Who knows, we might discover the next Gary Neville or Kelly Cates."

Premier League Juniors will air on Sky Showcase, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Mix from 5pm, while the regular crop - including the slightly older Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards - will remain on Sky Sports Main event.
