Two of Everton’s Premier League fixtures have been rescheduled after being selected for live television broadcast.

The Blues’ clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday 9 March will now be the day’s early kick-off and will be shown live at 12.30pm (GMT) on TNT Sports.

Later on in the month, Everton host Liverpool in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. That fixture, originally scheduled for Saturday 16 March, is now set to take place on Sunday 17 March at 2pm (GMT) and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

The date for this game could change, however, subject to Liverpool’s potential FA Cup quarter-final participation, with the last eight of that competition due to take place over the same weekend in mid-March.

Ticket details for the fixtures will be announced on Everton Club channels in due course.
