It’s the dawn of a new era!
Fans are only just discovering the bizarre kick-off time for the Manchester United v Liverpool game on Sunday.
One of the most world-renowned fixtures of football, the North West rivalry is always box-office in its build up and deliverance. Fans live for this fixture and the huge bragging rights that can be claimed.
However, a new kick-off time has left fans caught off guard with people only just discovering when the game will be played.
Super Sunday Premier League games usually kick-off at 2pm and 4:30pm, which has become a huge footballing tradition.
Although, this time the blockbuster match at Old Trafford will start at 4pm instead.
There has been no official reason given as to this unusual change of time, however it could be moved in conjunction with police and local authorities.
This has been shown last season in which the FA Cup fixture between the two sides kicked off at 3:30pm.
As a result of this fixture change, the earlier Sunday matches have also been moved.
Chelsea are due to play Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge at 1:30pm, whilst Newcastle United take on Tottenham Hotspur in the North East at the same time.
It’s due to be a big weekend of football as Arne Slot experiences his first competitive game versus Man Utd.
Bring it on.
