The clash between Liverpool and Arsenal helped Sky Sports 1 top the multichannel ratings chart with an average of 1.18 million (13.2%) between 3.30pm and 6.30pm.
As usual, Sky One had a strong Sunday night, beginning with 1.15 million (9.3%) for a new Simpsons at 6.30pm. Malcolm in the Middle held onto 729,000 (5.2%) at 7pm, before figures dropped to 458,000 (3%) for Father of the Pride.
