Three of Manchester United's February fixtures have been moved due to their participation in the Europa League and games being picked for live TV broadcast.
United were scheduled to face Crystal Palace on Saturday 1 February but that game has now been moved to Sunday 2 February. The clash with the Eagles at Old Trafford will kick off at 2pm.
United travel to Tottenham two weeks later and the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has also been moved from Saturday to Sunday. That game will now kick off at 4.30pm on Sunday 16 February and will be shown live on Sky Sports.

And finally, United's clash with Everton was scheduled to kick off at 3pm on Saturday 22 February but the game has been nudged forward and will now kick off at 12.30pm. The game has been moved as it will be shown live on TNT Sports, though the match could yet be moved again should United be participating in the Europa League in midweek. The game will be played on the Sunday if United are in midweek action.
Ruben Amorim will hope to have guided United up the league table by the time the aforementioned fixtures take place. The Reds are currently 13th in the Premier League having suffered back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.
Saturday's defeat to Forest was United's sixth in just 15 league games this season and they currently have a goal difference of plus 1 despite the 4-0 hammering of Everton just eight days ago.
Next up for United is a Europa League clash with Viktoria Plzen before Sunday's huge Manchester derby.
