Several Premier League fixtures scheduled for February have been rescheduled after being selected for live television coverage in the UK, with changes affecting a number of clubs and kick-off times.
One of the earliest adjustments sees the trip to Brentford moved back by a day to Thursday, February 12, with an 8pm kick-off, allowing the match to be shown live on TNT Sports. However, the fixture could revert to Wednesday, February 11 at 8.15pm should either club reach the FA Cup fourth round and be drawn against a team involved in the Champions League play-off round the following Tuesday.
Following that, the league clash against Tottenham Hotspur at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been moved to Sunday, February 22, with a 4.30pm kick-off. The north London encounter will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. The month’s third London derby, at home to Chelsea, has also been pushed back and will now take place on Sunday, March 1 at 4.30pm, again live on Sky Sports.
Not all fixtures have been affected. The home match against Sunderland on February 7 will remain unchanged, kicking off at 3pm at Emirates Stadium after not being selected for live television coverage.
Elsewhere, the Premier League has confirmed further February changes, including a lunchtime kick-off at Old Trafford. The trip to face Manchester United will remain on Saturday, February 7, but will now start at 12.30pm and be shown live on TNT Sports. A home clash with Newcastle United has been moved to Tuesday, February 10, with a 7.30pm kick-off, also live on TNT Sports.
