TV calls the shots as United games moved

FIVE of United’s Premier League fixtures in October and November have changed date.

United’s short trip to face Liverpool at Anfield will kick-off at 12.30pm on Saturday, October 14, and they will entertain Tottenham a week later on October 28 at the same time. Both of those matches will be televised by Sky Sports.

Chelsea versus United is scheduled for Sunday, November 5, at 4.30pm, and is due to be televised by Sky again. The home game against Newcastle will now take place on Saturday, November 18, at 5.30pm on BT Sport.

Most inconveniently, BT have arranged for Watford to host United at 8pm on Tuesday, November 28. Last season, BT arranged to televise Crystal Palace against United at the same time on a day when London was hit by a major tube strike. The only unchanged dates are Huddersfield away (October 21) and Brighton at home (November 25). Both of those are Saturday 3pm kick-offs.
