A number of Premier League games for the coming weeks will now be pay-per-view after clubs agreed to what has been described as an "interim solution".
Sky Sports and BT Sport will be providing the PPV service and, despite some opposition from figures within the game and fans, it looks like it is here to stay for now.
So, which Premier League matches are being shown on pay-per-view this weekend then? Goal has the details, as well as other games, including channels and kick-off times.

How do I get pay-per-view games and how much does it cost?
Pay-per-view Premier League matches will only be available to watch through the Sky Sports Box Office and BT Sport Box Office platforms.
Each PPV game will cost £14.95 and access will be granted for coverage of that event only.
Those with a BT Sport subscription on BT TV can purchase games through their TV box on the BT Player or Channel 495. If you have a BT Sport subscription on Sky TV, go to channel 494. It can also be done online at the BT website.
Ordering a Sky Sports Box Office can be done directly through your Sky box or online at sports.skyboxoffice.com.
Five out of the 10 games in each matchday will be pay-per-view, but the situation could change and the Premier League will be monitoring the situation.
It is set to be "regularly reviewed in consultation with clubs" and decisions made by the UK government with respect to allowing supporters to attend games will be taken into account.
Profits from the pay-per-view system will go directly to the Premier League clubs after broadcasters Sky Sports and BT Sport have covered their costs.
