Premier League – Sunderland AFC vs. Manchester United kick-off time

Sunderland vs. Man Utd takes place this evening in the Premier League.

The game, which takes place at the Stadium of Light, is scheduled to kick off at 17:30 BST and airs live in the United Kingdom on Sky Sports 1/Sky Sports 1 HD.

Man Utd will be looking to take all three points on Wearside in Saturday’s late kick-off.

United have made their worst league start for 24 years following last weekend’s shock defeat at home to West Brom, but manager David Moyes on Friday insisted he remains the right man for the job, and Sunderland’s caretaker boss Kevin Ball says the Scot must be given time to succeed.

Asked if Moyes’ critics were being unreasonable in expecting instant success, Ball told reporters: “From Manchester United’s point of view, they are probably entitled to do that.

“But they have also got to understand when things change, it takes time to build some sort of momentum, and I have no doubt in time, that will happen there.

“I just look at it as Manchester United. I know what quality of players they have got and know it’s going to be a very difficult game.

“What’s gone on in previous games, I’ll look at, but it doesn’t really count because they have got a lot of quality about them, they are a good team. I am really hoping David Moyes is successful there.”
