The Premier League has released its latest fixture amendments covering the month of October.
A number of big games have been moved to accommodate for TV coverage, and to avoid clashes as European competitions get back underway.

That clash from the Emirates will now take place at 4:30pm on Sunday 8 October 2023 to be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
Meanwhile the first Merseyside derby of the 2023-24 Premier League season will now take place on Sunday 21 October at 12:30pm.
The first Manchester derby since the FA Cup final will take place on Sunday 29th October
The maiden Merseyside derby of the season has also been moved to accommodate for broadcasting
Meanwhile Brighton have seen their clash with Fulham rescheduled due to their qualifying for European football
