Sunderland clash switched to New Year's Day plus Forest, Chelsea and Brighton selected for broadcast | OneFootball

Four of City’s fixtures over the festive period have been selected for broadcast.

This means either a new date or kick-off time for the quartet of matches affected.

First up, our trip to face Nottingham Forest on 27 December will now kick-off at 12:30pm (UK) for coverage by TNT Sports.

The game was originally scheduled for 15:00 (UK) on the same day.

Perhaps the most notable switch is our trip to Sunderland, which was previously slated for Tuesday 30 December.

This match will now take place on New Year's Day at 20:00 (UK) for Sky Sports coverage.

Next up, our Etihad Stadium clash with Chelsea has now been moved back 24 hours.

Originally a 15:00 start on Saturday 3 January, we will now face Enzo Maresca’s side a day later on Sunday 4 January with a 17:30 kick-off for broadcast on Sky Sports.

Finally, there is a minor tweak to our home game against Brighton on Wednesday, 7 January.

The game will be played on the same evening, but the kick-off will now be 30 minutes earlier at 19:30 (UK).

The above game is another selected for Sky Sports coverage.
