A win this Sunday would be crucial for both teams, but fans should be aware of the altered schedule.

Why is Manchester United vs Everton kicking off at an unusual time?

Two matches are being played at rescheduled times on Sunday, with Liverpool vs Manchester City also affected.

This isn’t the first instance of varying kick-off times for Premier League games, as alterations occurred previously in November 2023 involving Liverpool and Manchester City.

The changes were requested by law enforcement to manage crowd control and prevent possible clashes.

With four prominent teams and fierce rivals competing on the same day, the police aim to avoid risks of conflict and turmoil.

Back in 2022, the City team bus suffered damage from fans as it left Anfield.

Moreover, Liverpool fans faced chants related to their club’s tragedies.

As a result, Manchester United vs Everton will kick off at 1:30 PM GMT on Sunday, December 1 – half an hour earlier than the regular 2 PM start.
