For the second year running, Swansea City's trip to Cardiff City has not been chosen for live television coverage.
The Swans go in search of a fourth-straight win over their arch-rivals at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday, with the contest set to kick- off at 3pm.
Last season, a jubilant away end toasted the first ever South Wales derby double after their side triumphed 4-0 in the capital. However, those without tickets missed out on seeing what was a historic moment in Welsh football.

Now, those without a ticket once again won't be able to take in what many in these parts consider to be the biggest game of the season.
The question that will likely be on everyone's lips is why Sky passed on the chance to televise the fixture, particularly after choosing to show the return game at the Swansea.com Stadium earlier in the season.
Sky declined to comment when asked this question by WalesOnline, stating they simply didn't choose it, meaning the reasoning behind their decision remains unclear, although there are a couple of possible explanations.

For one, Cardiff are the only ones that really have anything to play for. Sabri Lamouchi's side aren't entirely safe from relegation this season, but are looking good in terms of staying up. In contrast, Swansea look to be safe, but have little chance of breaking into the top six.
It's also worth bearing in mind that this isn't the only big derby match this weekend.
Luton Town host bitter rivals Watford, with both sides still in the mix for the play-offs, while relegation-threatened Blackpool head to Preston North End for what promises to be a spicy Lancashire derby.
Both games have been chosen for TV coverage on Saturday afternoon. So it's possible they are seen by Sky as holding more potential for drama. Certainly they both appear to have more riding on them.
Nevertheless, the decision not to show the South Wales derby still appears a bold move.
