Manchester United April fixture changes confirmed by Premier League for TV schedule

Manchester United's April Premier League fixtures against both Leicester City and Everton have been rearranged following the release of the latest TV selections, the Premier League has confirmed.

United, who have won each of their last two Premier League outings, were scheduled to welcome Leicester to Old Trafford for a 3:00pm kick-off on Saturday, April 2.

However, the fixture has been chosen to be broadcast live on Sky Sports and will now get underway at the slightly later time of 5:30pm.

The following week, United make the trip to Goodison Park to face Everton on Saturday, April 9. Like the tussle with Leicester, the contest on Merseyside was scheduled for a 3:00pm kick-off but has now been brought forward to 12:30pm, with BT Sport set to show the game live.

That means that only one of United's next six Premier League outings will kick-off at 3:00pm on a Saturday afternoon, that being this coming weekend's clash with relegation-threatened Watford at Old Trafford.

After the clash with Watford, which will not be televised anywhere in the UK due to the 3:00pm blackout, United's next four Premier League outings will all be screened live on Sky Sports, those being against Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Leicester.
