Premier League fixture changes and Man Utd vs Liverpool date and time confirmed | Football | Sport
The Premier League have finally confirmed when Manchester United will host Liverpool at Old Trafford. Before the season began, the league stated the approximate date for revealing the fixtures selected for live television broadcast in match week 35 would be March 25. United will welcome Liverpool to Old Trafford at 3.30pm on Sunday, May 3, with the fixture selected for Sky Sports coverage.
However, that isn’t the only fixture selected for live broadcast, with Tottenham Hotspur‘s trip to Aston Villa set to be shown on TNT Sports the day before (12.30pm on Saturday, May 2). Having been pencilled in for Saturday, the fixture could be moved to Sunday if Villa reach the Europa League semi-finals. Unai Emery’s side would play that tie on the Thursday and would therefore host Spurs on the Sunday.
Arsenal have also been scheduled to play Fulham on Saturday at 5.30pm, with Sky Sports televising the fixture. Meanwhile, Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace, Newcastle United vs Brighton and Hove Albion, and Wolves vs Sunderland are all set for 3pm kick-offs.
Due to the Saturday blackout, those fixtures will not be shthe UK. On Monday, May 4, in an unusual kick-off slot owing to the fact it’s a Bank Holiday, Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea will face Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge at 3pm, with the fixture shown on Sky Sports.
Matchweek 35 will then conclude that evening, when Everton host Manchester City at the Hill Dickinson Stadium (8pm) on Sky Sports.
