Liverpool's trip to Manchester United will kick-off at the unusual time of 3.30pm

Manchester United's clash with Liverpool on 7 April will kick-off at the unusual time of 3.30pm after being picked for live TV coverage by Sky Sports.

Usually, Sky's Super Sunday games get underway at 2pm or 4.30pm, but Sky have instead slated the Reds' trip to Old Trafford to be a 3.30pm kick-off. In total, 17 Premier League games have been selected for live coverage for the first two weeks of April.

That next period starts with a bumper midweek of action, with eight games being screened on TNT Sports. They will show Newcastle's clash with Everton, Fulham's trip to Nottingham Forest and West Ham's derby against Tottenham on 2 April.

The following day, all three games will be screened live in the UK, with those matches being Arsenal's game at home to Luton, Brighton's trip to Brentford and Manchester City's clash with Aston Villa. That first midweek rounds up with two more live games as Liverpool's clash with Sheffield United and Manchester United's bumper trip to Chelsea will both be shown.

Moving into that first weekend, TNT will screen City's trip to Crystal Palace in the 12.30pm kick-off on the Saturday, while Sky will show Arsenal's clash against Brighton at 5.30pm. On the Sunday, there will be just one live game though.

That will be Liverpool's trip to Old Trafford, with Sky putting their full focus into that match. For Monday Night Football that week, Tottenham's clash at home to Forest has been slated for the primetime slot.

There are no midweek games scheduled for the following week, with the next match set to be screened live being Tottenham's trip to Newcastle, which will be shown by TNT. Aston Villa's trip to Arsenal is currently scheduled to be Sky's 5.30pm game.

The latest picks are rounded off by the Super Sunday offering of Palace's trip to Liverpool and United's clash with Bournemouth, before the Monday Night Football game of Chelsea vs Everton. While those picks have been announced, it could still change.

The Premier League have warned that Arsenal vs Villa, currently scheduled for 5.30pm on 13 April could be moved if Villa feature in the Europa Conference League the preceeding Thursday. If that game is moved, it would swap places with United's trip to Bournemouth.

Liverpool's last clash with United game in December at Anfield, with that game finishing goalless despite Diogo Dalot being sent off. The Reds currently lead the way in the Premier League, sitting a point ahead of reigning champions Manchester City and two points ahead of Arsenal.
