Manchester City's clash with Liverpool on 25 November will be moved from 5:30pm to 12:30pm due to police fears over fan behaviour at the Premier League fixture. <\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola's side confirmed the switch on X, formerly known as Twitter: "Fixture update. Our home @premierleague clash against Liverpool on Saturday 25 November will now kick-off at 12:30 (UK)."<\/p>\n
