Opening day evening kick off handed to Liverpool
LIVERPOOL'S opening match of the 2007/08 season is set for a tea-time kick-off.
Sky and Setanta have yet to formally announce their fixtures for the new campaign, but the Echo has learned that Setanta are set to select Liverpool's clash at Sunderland for their first Saturday night screening.
That match will kick-off at 5.15pm, with Everton's home match against Portsmouth on August 30 getting the same treatment.
Everton and Liverpool are both set to figure five times apiece on Sky before December 1, with the first derby match being switched to a 12.45pm kick-off on Saturday, September 27, Liverpool's home clash with Manchester United also put back to a Saturday 12.45pm slot and the visit of United to Goodison Park provisionally pencilled in for a 2pm Sunday kick-off on October 26.
Sky and Setanta are expected to confirm the dates next week.
