League Cup Final at 2 pm

Sky dont want to mess up their Premier League Coverage then !!!!

Lol, they'd have it on Friday night if they could.

[SamD]

So two (or possibly just one) of the Premier League fixtures scheduled for the same weekend will be moved:

• Everton v West Ham
  Man Utd v Man City
  Sunderland v West Brom

[Judio]

I think there is quite a big chance that the Manchester Derby will get moved

I wonder if Sky still have to pick it on that weekend (and show it in a convenient midweek slot) to stop BT getting a shot at it

Could they move it to the final midweek before the last day?

[Judio]

Unlikely Sky dont want to rick having a meaningless match if the title has been sewn up by then

Liverpool's FA Cup fourth-round tie with either Bournemouth or Burton Albion will be broadcast live on television.

The clash, which will take place away from home, will be shown live on ITV1 on Saturday, January 25, with kick off set for 12.45pm GMT.

FA Cup TV ties

FRIDAY 24 JANUARY
Arsenal v Coventry City (7.45pm) Live on BT Sport

SATURDAY 25 JANUARY
AFC Bournemouth or Burton Albion v Liverpool (12.45pm) Live on ITV1
Stevenage v Everton (5.30pm) Live on BT Sport

SUNDAY 26 JANUARY
Sheffield Utd v Norwich City or Fulham (1pm) Live on BT Sport
Chelsea v Stoke City (3.30pm) Live on ITV1

[Judio]

So the Mersey derby can stay on the Tuesday after Round 4 games

Sunderland v Stoke will likely be moved to Weds 29 Jan

The winner of the Fulham Norwich replay will also ask for their League game to be moved to the Wednesday

[Judio]

Arsenal v Man United under threat ??

Also home matches for west ham (v norwich, on the 11th) and fulham (v liverpool on the 12th) affected by those strike dates.

[Judio]

Yes but other London football clubs have coped with tube strikes except Arsenal
as shown by Boxing Day 2012

When will the next lot of televised games (for March) be announced?

[SamD]

@ ethelmoomin: in the next week or so (if history is any guide).

• - March 2011 fixtures were announced on Mon 17 Jan that year
  - March 2012 fixtures were announced on Mon 23 Jan
  - March 2013 fixtures were announced on Fri 18 Jan

[ethelmoomin]

@SamD thanks

[snout]

Spurs announced yesterday that their March 2nd home game with [edit] Cardiff (not Swansea) will kick off at 16:30 (unusual time).

"The match will not be shown live on TV. The Premier League broadcast selections for March will be notified in due course."

League cup final at 2pm that day

[Judio]

The Premier League have confirmed that Palace's trip to Swansea on 2nd March will kick-off at 4.30pm at the Liberty Stadium.

The game has been rescheduled to the Swans' continued involvement in the Europa League and the later kick-off means it won't clash with the Capital One Cup Final that is also being played on the day

[Gunnerman]

I presume that sky will want to show a Premier League game also on League Cup Final day. A 12pm kick off would leave very little build up time to Final. A 4:30pm kick off would probably be ok unless the Cup Final goes to extra time and penalties as they would also want to show the presentation and celebrations with the cup afterwards. No MNF on March 3rd allowed as Internationals on March 5th.

All the bickering between Sky and BT looks like we have a further delay !!!

Bet they wait now until after the Cup Draw and tell us Monday night

[Latic]

The replay between Fulham and Sheffield Utd will be Tues 4th February at 20:00

Edit: Will be shown on ITV4

[Gunnerman]

Man City v Chelsea can go ahead now on Monday February 3rd in the league. The sides will also meet in the FA Cup on Saturday February 15th with the kick off time to be confirmed.
