Two Manchester United fixtures in October have been handed new kick off times

Manchester United's Premier League trip to Anfield has been given a new date in the latest batch of Premier League television announcements.

The Reds will visit Liverpool on Sunday, October 19, with a 4.30pm kick off with the fixture to be shown live on Sky Sports.

But despite the announcement, the game could yet shift again. The Premier League have stated that any fixtures for the weekend of October 18-19 are subject to possible change due to Champions League games the following midweek.

Liverpool will be in the Champions League and depending on their fixture commitments, with the draw to be made next week following the conclusion of the qualifying rounds, the match with United could be moved again. The Premier League do not allow a team playing on a Tuesday in the Champions League to play on the preceding Sunday in the top flight.

United's home game against Brighton on Saturday, October 25, has also been given a new kick off time with the fixture shifting to a 5.30pm kick off to be shown on Sky Sports.
