West Ham fans done over again after new Sky Sports announcement
West Ham United have four Premier League fixtures to navigate between now and the next international break.
Nuno Espirito Santo started life as West Ham boss with a 1-1 draw at Everton prior to West Ham’s 2-0 loss to Arsenal.
There is little chance of Nuno building too much momentum given the stop-start nature of the Premier League at this point in the season.
West Ham host Brentford on Monday before then meeting Leeds United, Newcastle United and Burnley, at which point there is another two-week break.
And West Ham fans have now learned of more fixture changes ahead of those games in the final month of 2025.
Manchester United vs West Ham fixture date changed
West Ham announced some fixture changes via their official website on Wednesday for games in early December after being moved by Sky Sports.
Among the games moved is the trip to face Manchester United, which will now take place at 8pm on a Thursday night.
That is bad enough in itself, given fans will need to get back from Manchester late on a Thursday, but making it worse is that there is now a trip to Brighton at 2pm three days later.
| Fixture | Date & time |
| Man United (a) | 4 December, 8pm |
| Brighton (a) | 7 December, 2pm |
| Aston Villa (h) | 14 December, 2pm |
| Man City (a) | 20 December, 3pm |
West Ham’s following fixture is also on a Sunday, owing to Aston Villa’s involvement in the Europa League, and will also be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
West Ham’s clash with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium remains locked in for 3pm on 20 December.
Sky Sports will confirm changes to fixtures between 27 December and 7 January in due course, meaning further disruption can be expected.

West Ham dealt difficult hand after fixture change
Playing away three times in the space of four games meant this was always going to be a tricky period for West Ham.
But having to now travel to Man United on the Thursday makes life all the more difficult ahead of taking on Brighton on the Sunday.
West Ham fans are used to having fixtures moved, and while there are still a couple of months to go until those games, many would have already have plans in place.
It is one of those things, though, and it is almost certain more games will be moved in late December before too long.
