I can't believe merseyside police have agreed to a Monday night for united at Anfield. The last Monday night game I remember between us was at Old Trafford 2004/05, that big-headed c*nt Silvestre scored twice.

We played them on a Thursday last season.

[Mad Max]

Yes what a night that was.

Not in the prem though

Seeing as it was Europa League they didn't really have much choice over the time. With league games I always thought this game was top of the list for police to request an early kick off. Times have changed.

Liverpool v Man Utd - Monday Night - WTF!

As someone who was planning on being in Liverpool that weekend (and flying back home to Boston on the Sunday) this is NOT welcome news

Really thought it would have been the early Saturday kickoff

(Anyway one hospitality ticket in the Anfield Road Dugout will be back on sale soon)

[Barneylfc∗]

(the Anfield Road Dugout)

The what?

[swoopy]

The what?

Hospitality. Main Stand Middle Tier. Towards Anfield Road End

Sky can fuck off, mnf at home against utd.
Getting fucked off with having to take time off work to watch this club as well as time off to buy tickets I don't know if I can be arsed with this much longer.

Thats great news, last seasons night game with Utd in the Europa league was one of the best!!

It's only fair that Utd get a decent rest after a  Thursday Europa league game-it's not right that we would have an advantage if it was played on a Sunday.....oh wait-we got no such assistance in similar situations last year!

[RMG]

Fuck off Sky

[Paullfc95]

Made up with united under the lights. Always miles better atmosphere for the big games at night

That's not always a good thing

The only game I don't remember was Chelsea in the semi final of the cup 2014/15 I think. Was in the stadium but don't remember anything about being in the stadium

Have a few.. but let's hope United isn't gonna be added to the list.

Why do you need to take time off work for a game at 8pm? Maybe Sky should have run it past you 1st! Can't beleive people are moaning about this! More locals and less tourists!

Sorry to hear that, but we've not played Man Utd in the league at Anfield on a Saturday since 2011.

Anyone one know what Croydon is like for a night out in late October 🍺🍺😎

Doesn't or didn't Walks live that way on Phil? Might give you an idea :-)

Saturday night is OK. Sunday night is terrible.

Croydon is becoming gentrified these days from what I hear from the locals.

Er, because I'll be working if I don't.
Maybe OK for some but I will have to lose a full shifts pay to go to the game.

Yeah because all jobs are 9-5

If they had the game on a Saturday or a Sunday some people would be working and would miss the game! You can't please everyone! At least having it on a Monday night the atmosphere should be better

[Alf]

Be interesting to see if these dates are right.

So less than 5 weeks' notice for fixtures from March onwards.  The level of contempt for fans shown by the PL is exceeded in only by their greed.

[lfc79]

At least they have confirmed the dates they will be announced, though the cynic in me thinks that Sky / BT might not stick to them

[gods_left_peg]

Bit of a mystic meg request. But anyone fancy guessing when the home derby on 1/4/2017 will be moved to?

Currently it's Saturday 3pm but obviously that won't happen.

I'm guessing it will be an early kick off so either the 12:45 Sat or 1:30 Sun. Can anyone remember what's happened the  last few years
