If a deal is done, I reckon DAZN or Disney are most likely.
Others felt Sky should not be ruled out as it would be keen to take out a competitor. Hoever, I think the Premier League could prevent this by making sure Sky was aware that it would re-auction BT's rights if that situation arose, which rights owners are able to do if the ownership of the broadcaster changes.

Do we really think a streaming only channel will be keen to take on football rights in the UK without a standard channel on Sky/Virgin/BT? Even for a tenner that streaming channel with spanish/italian football completely collapsed within 6 months or so?
Amazon works because its on most smart tvs, firesticks, tv boxes, is a well known brand etc.
"Oh btw the new EPL stuff is on DAZN"
"DAZN....what the heck is DAZN"
"its streaming service for football?"
"how do i get it....i just want to watch the football?"
"well on your laptop you can cast from your pc/laptop or smartphone to a google chromebox for example!"
"what?"
"or a ps4/x box app which has just been released"
"what....."
"its on apple tv"
"oh forget it!!"
