Matches Moved for UK Television

Four Arsenal fixtures in December and early January have officially been moved for broadcast slots on British television. All matches are normally scheduled for Saturday at 3 p.m. in England (10:00 a.m. here in New York City) but can be moved if a television network in the UK decides to air it live. Matches are usually moved either earlier or to Sunday/Monday for Sky Sports and are moved to later on Saturday for ESPN. This also alters which television network airs the match in the United States.

The following is the list of Arsenal's upcoming fixtures through January that have been moved for television and will not be aired at the standard Saturday time. This includes all mid-week league fixtures, whether or not they were moved in the first place. As a New York-based blog, all times are Eastern:

Manchester City (away) airs Sunday, October 24 at 11:00 a.m.
Newcastle United (home) airs Sunday, November 7 at 8:30 a.m.
Wolves (away) airs Wednesday, November 10 at 2:45 p.m.
Everton (away) airs Sunday, November 14 at 9:00 a.m.
Tottenham Hotspur (home) airs Saturday, November 20 at 7:45 a.m.
Aston Villa (away) airs Saturday, November 27 at 7:45 a.m.

Chelsea (home) airs Monday, December 27 at 3:00 p.m.

Birmingham City (away) airs Saturday, January 1 at 12:30 p.m.
