Arsenal will host Manchester City in a high-profile Sunday clash on November 29 after the Premier League announced its revised television broadcast schedule for November.

The fixture at the Emirates Stadium will cap a blockbuster day featuring six Premier League matches, starting with the Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool at 12pm.

Everton will host Liverpool for the second time at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The home side lost the corresponding fixture 2-1 last season following a late header from Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk.

Six Sunday fixtures on November 29

Four fixtures are scheduled to kick off simultaneously at 2.05pm on Sunday afternoon. Brighton host Newcastle, Crystal Palace face Hull, Fulham take on Bournemouth, and Sunderland welcome Tottenham Hotspur.

The match between Sunderland and Tottenham is a repeat of Roberto De Zerbi's first game in charge of Spurs, which ended in a 1-0 defeat in April.

Title holders Arsenal will then welcome Manchester City at 4.30pm in a match that could prove crucial to the early title race. After five matches this season, City lead the Gunners by three points at the top of the standings having achieved a perfect start under manager Enzo Maresca.

The unusually large cluster of Sunday fixtures is partly driven by European cup schedules. Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, and Sunderland are all involved in UEFA Europa League action three days prior on Thursday evening, while Brighton compete in the UEFA Conference League against Romanian club Craiova on the same night.

Weekend schedule and Saturday kick-offs

The weekend action begins on Friday, November 27, when Nottingham Forest host Chelsea at 8pm. As a result of the Sunday rescheduling, only three matches will take place on Saturday, November 28.

Leeds host Coventry in the traditional 3pm Saturday slot, while Manchester United welcome Brentford to Old Trafford at the same time. This marks the first Saturday 3pm kick-off of the domestic season for Manchester United, coming in their 12th Premier League match of the campaign.

Ipswich host Aston Villa at Portman Road in the 5.30pm Saturday match. Top-flight teams will complete just three rounds of Premier League fixtures throughout November due to a scheduled two-week international break for national team matches.

In other schedule adjustments announced for the month, Liverpool will host rivals Manchester United at Anfield in a headline fixture set for 4.30pm on Sunday, November 22.
