    WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

    The bizarre turn of events sparked some humorous reactions on social media, with X user @thestratpack writing: "Sky presenters and pundits having to improvise a few minutes of commentary during audio issues has really exposed how clueless they are."

    Another fan, @brodie7DK, wrote: "Sky sports is a mess. First they don’t know the Chelsea formation and now audio issues."

    "Stuck with Micah Richards and Roy Keane on commentary fucking hell this is a horrible start to super Sunday," said @LFCJacobb, while @AVFCCharlie said: "All the money people dish out for sky sports, you don’t expect them to have audio issues. It happens so often now it’s a joke. And they wonder why people have dodgy fire sticks etc."

    One viewer named @CK_Tipster said: "Sky have got audio problems, I don’t wanna hear Micah Richards on commentary", and @clarkliam04 said: "Micah, Roy Keane & Carragher having to commentate with Dave Jones because of an audio issue, brilliant adapting to a situation."

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The technical problem did not last too long into the game as the regular commentators were back on the air by the time Nicolas Jackson gave Enzo Maresca's team the lead in the seventh minute.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Chelsea are unbeaten in their last four Premier League matches and a win will draw them level on points with Arsenal in second place in the Premier League, though Manchester City would leapfrog both with a victory against leaders Liverpool later in the day.
