Manchester City travel to Aston Villa on Sunday and the match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports . But supporters can now keep track of all the Premier League drama by viewing several matches simultaneously. Sky hold the broadcast rights for 215 Premier League encounters this term , encompassing the majority of Sunday fixtures. Pep Guardiola's side will be looking to cement their title hopes when they head to Villa Park on Sunday at 2pm and the match will be aired live. But fans eager to catch more than one of the four clashes on at this time are now in lyck, as a fresh innovation launched this campaign enables spectators to view four different fixtures concurrently on one display. Sky Sports multiview has already proven successful since its introduction. Earlier this month, when Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest, Everton vs Crystal Palace, Wolves vs Brighton and Aston Villa vs Burnley were all broadcast simultaneously, supporters could absorb the excitement from every encounter. Fans flocked to social media praising the innovative function, with one penning a glowing assessment: "This might be the best thing they've ever done as a company." Another simply declared: "Sky Sports Multiview is class." Whilst a third contributed: "Quite like this Sky Sports Multiview, especially if you're not too invested in any of the matches." A fourth supporter remarked: "Sky's Multiview is like suddenly being granted access to rare and precious knowledge hitherto granted only to Jeff Stelling and Soccer Saturday." This Sunday, a quartet of matches are set to kick off at 2pm including City's game. Arsenal will be welcoming Crystal Palace, Bournemouth will be squaring off against Nottingham Forest and Wolves will be going head-to-head with Burnley. Multiview will be available this weekend, allowing all four matches to be broadcast live simultaneously, as was the case earlier in the month. This function has previously been tested during some early WSL kick-offs and the German Bundesliga has also been aired live via multiview. To utilise multiview, television viewers need to use the Sky Sports TV app and select 'match choice' through the red button. It will be accessible on Sky Glass and Sky Stream and can also be viewed on the Sky Sports app. Regarding commentary, there will be a single team of commentators for all four matches, directing viewers to wherever the action is happening. For this weekend, that team will comprise Andy Bishop and Lee Hendrie. If spectators choose to watch a single match without using multiview, they will receive individual commentary along with the standard half-time and full-time analysis. All the pre-match coverage for Sunday's four games will be available on Sky Sports Premier League, commencing at 12:30pm. The multiview stream will then begin at 1.55pm, just ahead of the 2pm kick-offs. Once all the matches have concluded, all goals from the four games will be shown and the main coverage will continue on Sky Sports Premier League.
