Sky Sports has brought back the CBS Avengers, a team of expert football pundits, to cover the Premier League match. The trio includes Micah Richards, Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher. This move comes as Arsenal prepares to face Manchester City in an upcoming match.
Micah Richards, a former Manchester City defender, is known for his regular appearances on CBS Sports' Champions League coverage. Often subjected to light-hearted jibes during introductions, Richards takes it all in stride and laughs off any jokes made at his expense.
Richards will be providing punditry alongside Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher. The three have been reunited by Sky Sports as they prepare to cover the clash between Arsenal and Manchester City.
Balanced panel
The selection of this trio offers a balanced perspective for viewers. Thierry Henry brings insights from his time with Arsenal while Micah Richards provides commentary from the viewpoint of Manchester City's former star player. Jamie Carragher completes the panel as an impartial neutral voice with his extensive experience playing for Liverpool.
As host David Jones kicked off another Super Sunday coverage on Sky Sports, he welcomed back these familiar faces with their unique perspectives on football analysis.
David Jones, Sky Sports host, said:
“What a trio we have assembled for the job this afternoon. So good, I can’t believe no-one has ever thought of this before! Thierry Henry, Arsenal Invincible and World Cup winner. Jamie Carragher, Champions League winner. And Micah Richards." After a pause full of laughter, Jones added: "Premier League title winner.”
Football fans can look forward to more insightful commentary from this dream team when Champions League action returns to CBS sports in the knockout phase play-off round of that competition.
