The game, originally scheduled for 2pm on Sunday, 19th December, will now get underway at 2.15pm at St. James' Park. The change is a result of Everton and Leicester City's top-flight meeting moving to a 12pm kick-off the same day, having originally been scheduled for 8pm on the Monday night.

As before, United's visit of the reigning Premier League champions will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
