Explained: Why Man Utd's Premier League game against Burnley is such a late kick-off as fixture time is moved back

Saturday's match at Turf Moor kicks off at 8pm local time on Saturday, which is unusually late. There was no 12.30pm match on Saturday, with other matches starting at the usual 3pm slot and then Brentford's match against Everton going on at 5.30pm.

It is rare for Premier League games to start later than 5.30pm on Saturdays, but United's clash at Burnley has been moved because of new rules surrounding the Champions League.

Many coaches have complained about the lack of recovery time for players after playing midweek matches and the new rules have been brought in to address the issue.

The new regulations mean that clubs who were in Champions League action at 8pm on a Wednesday cannot play in the 12.30pm kick-off the following Saturday. As a result, the Burnley vs United match was moved to later on Saturday.

After the weekend's clash, United will face Crystal Palace in the league on Tuesday.
