Manchester City have confirmed their trips to Arsenal and Manchester United in October have both been moved after being selected for TV broadcast. City have a massive month to look forward to in October, facing their main title rivals from last season and a Manchester derby. Between those, Pep Guardiola's side will host Brighton at the Etihad. They kick off the month with a trip to the Emirates during the first week of October, and that has now been moved to the 4.30pm kick-off slot on Sunday 8th after being selected for live broadcast by Sky Sports.

That clash has also been selected to feature on Sky Sports' Super Sunday and will now kick off at 3.30pm on Sunday 29th.
