Several Premier League matches in November were changed due to television coverage and European competition.
The division confirmed the news on Friday with several changes for the penultimate month of the year as the season draws to a close.
The postponed matches include Newcastle v Arsenal and Tottenham v Chelsea on the opening weekend of the month.
Some matches have been moved to hours rather than days due to televised selection, while moves for European involvement revolve around Brighton’s first season in European football, as well as commitments fro Liverpool and D ‘Aston Villa.
Perhaps the most important match to be postponed is champions Manchester City’s trip to Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, which will now take place at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 instead of 3 p.m. on November 11.
