Premier League set new date for Liverpool vs Man Utd clash as TV selections made

Liverpool will host Manchester United at Anfield in October in a Premier League match that has been selected to be broadcast by Sky Sports, who have moved several other games

Liverpool have seen all three of their Premier League matches in October moved after they were selected to be shown live by broadcasters.

All eyes are on Arne Slot’s side this season as fans wait to see if they can defend their title. October will be a crucial time for the Reds, who play Chelsea, Manchester United and Brentford that month in the league.

Nineteen fixtures have been rearranged altogether, with Sky Sports now having the rights to show 215 matches live – up from 128 last season – in the first year of their four-year £6.7billion cycle.

The tastiest match will come at Anfield on Sunday, October 19 at 4:30pm when Liverpool host United. That will form the headline act of Super Sunday after Tottenham vs Aston Villa at 2pm. United earned a 2-2 draw in that fixture last season and will be hoping to compete once more.

That game will come two weeks after Liverpool head to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea on October 4 at 5:30pm, which will also be shown on Sky.

They will also close out the month live on TV, with their trip to Brentford on Saturday, October 25 being shown on TNT Sports. They have slated it for a 12:30pm kick-off – something Jurgen Klopp continually moaned about – but it will change to 8pm if Liverpool happen to be away in the Champions League on the preceding Wednesday.

The narrative in west London is likely to be built around Liverpool facing their former captain Jordan Henderson, who joined Brentford from Ajax on a free transfer this summer.

Sky’s broadcast deal allows them to show multiple games live simultaneously and that will be the case on Sunday, October 5 when three matches will be broadcast at once. The introduction of Multiview is an attempt to recreate the popularity of Red Zone in NFL coverage.
