December fixture changes..

[CTID Hants]

Five of Manchester City’s Premier League fixtures in December have been rearranged.

The home games against West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur have both been rescheduled for television coverage, as has the Manchester derby and the trip to Newcastle.

Meanwhile, the Swansea City match has also been moved, but will not be shown on TV.

The Crystal Palace on Saturday 30 December will be rearranged, but a new date has not been confirmed.

West Ham will now visit the Etihad Stadium a day later than originally planned, on Sunday 3 December for a 4pm kick off, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

They will also show City’s trip to Old Trafford, which has been moved to Sunday 10 December and will get underway at 4.30pm.

Consequently, the midweek clash at the Liberty Stadium has been pushed back a day to Wednesday 13 December at 7.45pm.

Spurs are due at the Etihad on Saturday 16 December, but this game now starts at the later time of 5.30pm and will be live on BT Sport.

And there will be no Boxing Day fixture this year, with our trip to the St James’ Park moved to Wednesday 27 December for a 7.45pm kick off, which will also be on Sky.

December fixtures:
West Ham (H) – 4pm, Sunday 3rd (Sky Sports)
United (A) – 4.30pm, Sunday 10th (Sky Sports)
Swansea (A) – 7.45pm, Wednesday 13th

*The Premier League have confirmed Crystal Palace will not play on Saturday 30 December, as originally scheduled, but a new date is yet to be confirmed.

Good news on the Derby move as we are away at Shakhtar in midweek before the game.

Nothing too silly there but no boxing day is a shame. I love boxing day footy

Newcastle moved to 27th. Huzzah. I can get the train now.
West Ham at home moved, means I can get to that game after flying back from the States.
Excellent news

So the dippers' Derby is the same day as us but theirs is at 2.15 and ours at 4.30. I think that shows which is the bigger deal.

The fixtures I'm looking at have us playing Palace away on Sunday 31st, same shite as the Liverpool game last NY, but at least it's and early ko.

It also has us playing on Monday 1st Jan home to Watford, that can't be right?
