Why Liverpool vs Man City has been moved 30 minutes earlier
The game was handed an unusual kick-off time of 7 PM EAT rather than the 7:30 PM EAT of the Sunday late Premier League kickoff.
As GMS explains, it is not the first time that kickoff times between the two giants have been altered. While no official reasoning has been given yet, it is understood to be a security measure by the police to suppress any crowd trouble.
There have been instances in the past of damaged busses, missile throwing and tragedy chanting in this game. The matches have been moved earlier to at the request of the police to deal with this problem.
