Etihad Showdown Becomes Televised Time Twister…
Hold on to your football boots, folks! The first big sky battle of the season between Manchester City and their red-clad nemesis, Manchester United, has done a nifty time shuffle. Yep, like a time-traveling football robot from the future, it’s been shifted to Sunday, September 14, for a cha-cha-cha with television cameras at 4:30 PM on Sky Sports. It’s the same Super Sunday slot because, let’s face it, Sundays without football are as strange as a zebra in roller skates!
Last season’s derby was a nail-biting cliffhanger, with Manchester United pulling off a Houdini act, scoring two late goals to polish off City 2-1. This time, Pep ‘The Tactics Magician’ Guardiola might have his eyes darting between the present and the future, with the Champions League lurking like a cheeky squirrel about to steal some acorns. City’s upcoming face-off with Arsenal at the Emirates a week later is also destined for the 4:30 PM super slot. It’s like TV gods flipping football script calendars with glee!
And that’s not all, footie fans! The reds of United are dancing through the TV scheduling maze too. Their nostalgic Old Trafford tango with Chelsea will waltz into our screens on Saturday, September 20, at 5:30 PM, also courtesy of Sky Sports’s wizardry. But the twisty tale doesn’t end there! With Ruben Amorim’s merry band headed to Brentford, fans are virtually guaranteed a football fiesta served fresh and live at 12:30 PM on TNT Sports by month’s end. Fear not, gentle fans, the Premier League sincerely apologizes for this TV fixture jigsaw puzzle that had kicked off a mini fan frenzy. Time to pop the popcorn and watch the football antics unfold!
