Fixture changes announced for United

Friday 13 September 2024 15:00

Manchester United's Premier League schedule has been updated, following the release of the latest televised dates.

The alterations to the calendar begin with the home match against Chelsea, a fixture we won 2-1 last season, thanks to two goals from former midfielder Scott McTominay.

Initially scheduled for Saturday 2 November, the encounter with Enzo Maresca's west Londoners will now take place a day later, kicking off at 16:30 GMT.

Sky Sports will be showing it live in the UK.

Ten Hag reveals team news for Saturday

The manager has provided an update on his squad ahead of the game at Southampton.

Seven days later, Erik ten Hag's men tackle Leicester City in a 14:00 GMT start at home. The clash with the Foxes is not slated for live coverage in the UK but has been moved because of our Europa League tie against PAOK on Thursday 7 November.

Another international break follows before our final league assignment of the month is at Ipswich Town.

Our first visit to Portman Road since 2002 has been moved from Saturday 23 to Sunday 24 November, with the 16:30 GMT kick-off against Kieran McKenna's men being shown live on Sky Sports.

Everton's trip to Old Trafford was originally meant to be our last outing of November, but we will now host Sean Dyche's side on the first day of December (13:30 GMT kick-off).

As with the Leicester game, there is no UK live television coverage, as the fixture has been moved due to our Europa League involvement - Bodo/Glimt are in M16 the preceding Thursday.

Taking into account the 27 October meeting with West Ham, that means we'll be involved in top-flight action for at least five straight Sundays, with the remainder of December's fixtures to be confirmed at a later date.
