The biggest thing on TV today actually doesn't matter. Well, it's not that it doesn't matter, but it's just that while Liverpool returns the pitch fro the first time since the global pandemic shut down sports worldwide, they'll have to wait a little longer to clinch the Premier League championship after failing to get a win on Sunday against Everton. Now the Reds need Burnley to beat or tie Manchester City on Monday, then beat Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

It's all but a done deal, but this is why we play the games, folks.

For everything else on TV on Monday that's not Liverpool, read on.
