Liverpool-Man United Clash Rescheduled as October Fixture Shake-Up Rocks Premier League
The initial clash between Liverpool and Manchester United for the new Premier League campaign has been rescheduled as part of October's television programming.
Originally scheduled for Saturday, Oct 18, this massive encounter was always a clear choice to be shifted to a prime-time television slot in the United Kingdom, and the two bitter rivals will now take center stage 24 hours later on Sunday instead.
United's visit to Anfield will now kick off at 4.30 p.m. (BST) (11.30 a.m. ET), after the completion of Tottenham Hotspur's clash with Aston Villa.
Earlier in the month, Liverpool have had another match rescheduled for television purposes as their away encounter against Chelsea will now take place on the evening of Saturday, Oct 4.
October also includes a heated London derby between Arsenal and West Ham United, and wraps up with an intriguing battle between Aston Villa and Manchester City—two teams expected to make significant impact near the top of the Premier League table this season.
