Football is not a TV show

A few fixture tweaks have been confirmed for December as the TV cameras take over once again.

Our home clash with West Ham at Old Trafford has been moved from Wednesday 3 December to Thursday 4 December, with an evening kick-off at 8pm.

The trip to Wolves has also been shifted, now taking place on Monday 8 December instead of the original Saturday 6 date, again with a 8pm start.

A rare 3pm kick off against Sunderland 

Bournemouth’s visit to the Theatre of Dreams has been pushed back two days too, from Saturday 13 to Monday 15 December at 8pm.

And finally, our away day at Aston Villa will now be on Sunday 21 December, kicking off at 4.30pm.

All four of these matches will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Has there been an update on the festive fixtures?

We’re currently to host Newcastle United at Old Trafford on Saturday 27 December, before welcoming Wolves just a few days later on Tuesday 30 December. Ruben Amorim’s Reds are then due to begin the new year with a tasty trip to old rivals Leeds United on Saturday 3 January.

Fans should note that these fixtures could still change if selected for TV coverage, with the Premier League set to confirm any updates in due course.  

One fan told us: "Zero consideration for matchgoing fans. It's not even that long until the Christmas and New Year period and we still don't know when we're playing!"
