The Premier League<\/a> have finally confirmed which games will be televised in September and apologised for a two-week delay. Fans were promised that they’d be informed of the exact dates and kick-off times for matchweeks four, five and six by July 9.<\/p>\n

But only now have top-flight chiefs been able to finalise them. The Premier League say that their late announcement still falls in line with their commitment to giving supporters at least six weeks’ notice when it comes to fixture changes before January, allowing fans to make plans in good time.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the league said: “While the Premier League’s fixture announcement dates advised that September’s fixtures would be released on 9 July, delays in local approvals for fixtures unfortunately meant only August fixtures were announced on this date.<\/p>\n

“The Premier League would like to apologise for not being able to confirm these fixtures until now. However, today’s announcement is in line with our commitment to give at least six weeks\u2019 notice for fixture announcements before January.”<\/p>\n

The Manchester Derby<\/a> headlines September’s list of fixtures. United’s visit to City will now be played at 4:30pm on Sunday, September 14 on Sky Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That match follows Liverpool’s trip to Burnley<\/a>, kicking off at 2pm. Arsenal<\/a> have also had a fixture moved that weekend. The Gunners are scheduled to host Nottingham Forest<\/a> at 12:30pm on Saturday, September 13.<\/p>\n

The Merseyside Derby<\/a> at Anfield has been selected to take place at 12:30pm on Saturday, September 20 on TNT Sports<\/a>. But the clash will move to the 12pm on the Sunday if Liverpool<\/a> are scheduled to play away in the Champions League<\/a> the preceding Wednesday.<\/p>\n

There’s a similar scenario for Tottenham’s game at home to Wolves<\/a> at 2pm on Sunday, September 28. The match will be moved if Spurs are drawn to play in Champions League the following Tuesday.<\/p>\n
