Big derby clash moved

West Ham United’s February Premier League schedule adjustments have been confirmed, with three of our matches selected for live broadcast in the UK.

The Irons’ home game against AFC Bournemouth, initially rescheduled for Thursday, 1 February, with a 7.30 pm kick-off at London Stadium, will be broadcast live in the UK by TNT Sports.

Subsequently, three additional top-flight matches have undergone rescheduling.

Firstly, we are set to face Manchester United on Sunday, 4 February, in the return fixture following the upcoming game at London Stadium tomorrow. The Old Trafford match will kick off at 2 pm and be broadcast live in the UK by Sky Sports.

The subsequent week will witness us hosting Arsenal in a London Stadium derby clash. Featuring the return of former Hammers captain Declan Rice and marking manager David Moyes facing his former Everton player Mikel Arteta, this match is scheduled for Sunday, 11 February, with a 2 pm kick-off, also televised on Sky Sports.

Rice will return to face his old teammates.
