The alterations to the calendar begin with the home match against Chelsea, a fixture we won 2-1 last season, thanks to two goals from former midfielder Scott McTominay.
Initially scheduled for Saturday 2 November, the encounter with Enzo Maresca's west Londoners will now take place a day later, kicking off at 16:30 GMT.
Sky Sports will be showing it live in the UK.
Seven days later, Erik ten Hag's men tackle Leicester City in a 14:00 GMT start at home. The clash with the Foxes is not slated for live coverage in the UK but has been moved because of our Europa League tie against PAOK on Thursday 7 November.
