Seven of Liverpool’s Premier League fixtures have been rearranged for live television coverage, it has today been confirmed.
The Reds will now see all but one of their matches during the month of December available to watch on TV, with a home fixture versus Fulham on December 3 the only exception.
Key changes include the original meeting with Manchester United at Anfield on Saturday, December 16 being moved to December 17, with a start time of 4:30pm. The Reds’ home meeting with Arsenal a week later on December 23 has retained the same date, though will now kick-off at 5:30pm and be shown on Sky Sports.
Liverpool’s game with Newcastle United on December 30 has been shifted to start on New Year’s Day at 8pm, which Sky also have the rights to broadcast. An away trip to Bournemouth originally pencilled in for January 13 will now commence on January 21, leaving Jurgen Klopp’s side with a 20-day period without a league game.
One change the Liverpool boss is unlikely to be pleased about is the head-to-head with Crystal Palace on December 9, which has remained unchanged regarding the date but will now take place during the much-maligned kick-off slot of 12:30pm.
