Talking about the latest changes, Sky Sports’ head of football Gary Hughes, per Sky Sports, said: “With 50 games still to come this season on Sky Sports, we know that the defining moments will be on our screens. We have some fantastic fixtures in the Merseyside derby and Manchester United going to Anfield to name just two.”
Earlier in the season, United beat Liverpool 3-0 at Old Trafford thanks to goals from Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Robin van Persie. However, Liverpool completed the double over United last season, per Soccerbase.com, with Daniel Sturridge scoring the only goal in the game at Anfield.
United have also seen their game against Tottenham moved. Current Premier League leaders Chelsea are another side to see two matches switched as part of the latest release, while Liverpool are also on TV against Swansea City.
Jose Mourinho’s side will be on television at home to Southampton and then Hull City at the KC Stadium.
The games which have been moved look certain to have implications in both the title race and the battle to finish in the top four.
United, along with their televised opponents Tottenham and Liverpool, are chasing qualification for the Champions League. These games will come at a pivotal point in the season.
Manchester City will hope to have closed the five-point gap on Chelsea by the time of their trip to Burnley.
Southampton, meanwhile, will still look to be in the hunt for a top-four spot by the time they head to Stamford Bridge as the season builds towards an enthralling climax.
