The Premier League has now confirmed the broadcast schedule for December’s games, which include the final league derby at Goodison Park
The final league Merseyside derby at Goodison Park between Everton and Liverpool will take place at 12.30pm on Saturday, December 7. It follows the announcement of the TV fixtures for December and January.
Everton will look to emulate the emphatic win of last season, when goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin helped overcome Liverpool 2-0 and dent their Premier League title hopes.
Unlike that midweek fixture, this one will not be under the lights, however, after it was selected for the lunchtime broadcast slot.

The match, the last Goodison derby barring the sides being matched up in the FA Cup, will be shown on TNT Sports.
The game is one of several to undergo a change of kick-off time, with December’s TV fixtures now confirmed. It means Blues have the clarity to plot their festive football schedule with certainty as thousands prepare to travel the country to continue their support.
That includes the Boxing Day game at Manchester City, which will now kick-off as 12.30pm. The home matches with Wolves, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur have also been rearranged.
