The first meeting between Liverpool and Manchester United of the new Premier League season has been rescheduled as part of October’s television coverage.

Provisionally booked for Saturday, Oct 18, this mammoth fixture was always an obvious candidate to be moved to a primetime television spot in the United Kingdom, and the two fierce rivals will now headline the action 24 hours later on Sunday instead.

United’s trip to Anfield will now be played out at 4.30 p.m. (BST) (11.30 a.m. ET), following the conclusion of Tottenham Hotspur’s meeting with Aston Villa.

Earlier in the month, Liverpool have seen another fixture moved for broadcasting purposes as their away game against Chelsea will now be played out on the evening of Saturday, Oct 4.

October also features a spiky London derby between Arsenal and Wrest Ham United, and concludes with a fascinating encounter between Aston Villa and Manchester City—two sides expecting to make plenty of noise towards the top of the Premier League standings this year.
