Sky Sports has announced a robust lineup of Premier League fixtures that will be shown live throughout October and November, featuring high‑profile clashes such as Liverpool's home games against Manchester City and Arsenal, as well as Manchester United's away encounter with Leeds United. In total, twenty‑one league matches will be available to viewers on the network during this period, offering fans a chance to catch some of the season's most anticipated showdowns. The first marquee fixture arrives on Sunday, 11 October, when Liverpool welcome Manchester City to Anfield. Kick‑off is scheduled for 4:30 pm, and the match promises to be a tactical battle between two of the league's most potent attacking sides.
Just a few weeks later, on 1 November, Anfield will host another "Super Sunday" as the reigning champions Arsenal travel to Merseyside. This encounter, also set for a 4:30 pm start, will see Mikel Arteta's side looking to continue their title defence while Liverpool aim to prove they can still challenge for the crown on their own turf.
Arsenal's schedule does not end there. After the Liverpool trip, the Gunners will head north to face Nottingham Forest on Sunday, 18 October. That game, slated for a 4:30 pm kick‑off, will test Arteta's squad against a Forest side eager to secure points against a top‑six opponent.
The fixture list also includes a return clash later in the season, ensuring the rivalry remains a focal point for both sets of supporters. Manchester United's October itinerary is equally packed. The Red Devils open their month at home on Saturday, 10 October, hosting Tottenham Hotspur, who are currently managed by Roberto De Zerbi. The match will start at 5:30 pm and is expected to be a tightly contested affair, with United looking to bounce back after a mixed start to the campaign.
A week later, United travel to Elland Road for a highly anticipated showdown with Leeds United on Sunday, 18 October. That game, scheduled for a 2:00 pm kick‑off, will see the two historic rivals clash in what many pundits describe as a "derby of the north" with both sides eager to claim bragging rights.
Later in the month, United will host Bournemouth on Sunday, 25 October, again at 2:00 pm. The match offers a chance for the Red Devils to consolidate any momentum gained from the Leeds fixture and to keep pace with the league leaders. The schedule also highlights Tottenham Hotspur's busy October.
After hosting United, Spurs travel to London to face Chelsea in a Saturday Night Football London derby on 24 October, a match set for a 5:30 pm start that promises fireworks given the fierce rivalry between the two capital clubs. Earlier in the month, Tottenham welcomed newly promoted Coventry City on Monday Night Football on 19 October, a 8:00 pm fixture that gave the visitors a chance to test themselves against top‑flight opposition. Tottenham will then host Crystal Palace at home on 31 October, with a 5:30 pm kick‑off, before meeting the same opponents later in the season.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, will resume their own rivalry with Brighton & Hove Albion on 18 October, a 2:00 pm match that will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. The fixture adds another layer of excitement to a month already brimming with high‑stakes games. For fans without a Sky subscription, the network offers several alternatives.
