The 18 December clash, which was due to kick off at 12:30 GMT on BT Sport, needed rearranging, and was inserted into our calendar between the matches with Southampton and Leeds United.
So it now takes place on Tuesday, on a night when BT Sport are screening the Champions League ties between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid and Manchester City's trip to Sporting in Lisbon. United's round-of-16 first leg in the competition is at Atletico Madrid next week.
Sky Sports have live Championship football on the menu, with Cardiff City entertaining Coventry City and Sheffield United meeting Hull City.
