More Manchester United and Man City fixture changes after games selected for TV coverage

Manchester United and Manchester City have had more of their games amended in the New Year after being selected for TV coverage.

Both clubs will each have the kick-off time changed to two of their fixtures in February, with both of their first league games that month being part of a special midweek programme.

All nine games during that round of fixtures (Chelsea and Brighton won’t be involved due to being in the Club World Cup) will be broadcast live by BT Sport.

As part of that week’s schedule, United’s game at Burnley on February 8 has been pushed back 15 minutes to an 8pm kick-off.

The following evening, City’s clash at home to Brentford has been brought forward by 15 minutes so that it will now kick off at 7.45pm.

The two clubs’ fixtures that weekend have also seen their kick-off times changed, with both United and City in action on the same day.

United host Southampton at Old Trafford on February 12, with the game now the lunchtime kick-off after being brought forward to 12.30pm to be shown live on BT.

Later that evening, City will travel to Norwich, with the game pushed back from its original 3pm slot so that it now kicks off at 5.30pm as part of Sky Sports' coverage.
