West Ham fixtures against Everton and Crystal Palace moved for TV coverage

West Ham will have their games against Everton and Crystal Palace in October broadcast live on television and as a result have been switched from their original 3pm timeslots.

The Hammers' trip to Goodison Park, originally slated for 3pm on October 19 will now be a 12.30pm kick off on Merseyside so it's either an early start on the Saturday or an overnight stay on the Friday for away supporters making the journey to Liverpool.

The match against Roy Hodgson's Palace, which was set for 3pm on October 5, is now a 5.30pm kick off in east London to be broadcast live on Sky Sports. That one is certainly not as inconvenient a switch as the Toffees clash.

Manuel Pellegrini's side will be on the box three times in August and September as well and have had fixtures moved. The home opener against Man City is a 12.30pm kick off on August 10 and the trip to Aston Villa was moved to a Monday night game at 8pm on September 16.

Their match directly after that, at home to Manchester United, is now a 2pm kick off Sunday, September 22 at London Stadium.

The Hammers fixture against Liverpool which was originally in the diary for December 20 will also have to be moved, likely to early 2020, as a result of the Reds' participation in the Club World Cup in Qatar between the 11th and 21st of the month.
