Please post any query or amendment; thanks.

Any idea when the March fixtures will be announced?

One of my Christmas gifts was tickets to OT for the match v the hubcap robbers and I'd like to sort out my travel plans.

[SamD]

Last year, March TV fixtures were released on Wed 25 Jan.

It's likely Man Utd v Liverpool won't move from Sat 10 March, however.
Both play in the Champions League round of 16 either side of that weekend:
Liv v Porto on Tues 6th; MU v Sevilla on Tues 13th.

That points to a 12.30 kick off then? Don't BT have the evening fixtures?

[Latic]

Probably Saturday 12:30 then. Can't see Friday night happening.

[Judio]

Another Saturday night game

Friday, 26 January

Yeovil Town v Manchester United (19:55) - BBC One

Saturday, 27 January

Peterborough United v Leicester City (12:30) - BT Sport 2

Newport County v Tottenham Hotspur (17:30) - BT Sport 2

Liverpool v West Bromwich Albion (19:45) - BT Sport 2

Sunday, 28 January

Chelsea v Newcastle United (13:30) - BT Sport 2

Cardiff City v Manchester City (16:00) - BBC One

[Latic]

Saturday, 27 January
Peterborough United v Fleetwood Town or Leicester City (12:30) - BT Sport 2

Would they really televise Peterborugh V Fleetwood ? Risky!

[Darbyand]

Looks like I've missed a lot of fun and games.

I've finally worked out how to add the FA Cup fixtures to my grids without crashing the update program for a slight technical issue. Also updated the league fixtures and was surprised that only one had changed (Tot v WH). Came here to find out why, so now I know. Was hoping to wind down for Christmas but it looks like another set of changes might come out tomorrow. Happy days.

It hasn't updated for the latest set of times and dates in the 4th round.

[SamD]

Wednesday move from Saturday to Friday...

The Owls will host Reading in the next round of the Cup following their 2-0 victory over Carlisle at Hillsborough last night.

FA Cup Fourth Round
Sheffield Wednesday v Reading, 7.45pm Fri 26 Jan
Sheffield United v Preston will remain in the 3pm Sat 27 Jan slot.

[Bramernic]

It hasn't updated for the latest set of times and dates in the 4th round.

Amending fixtures for the FA Cup has proved a challenging task. It is now complete, and I've even sorted Chelsea out as it looks like the finish at Stamford Bridge was too late for the tele people to confirm their fixture.

Incidentally, Cardiff's league game on the Saturday hasn't yet been moved but I'm sure they won't play it the day before hosting Man City.

[Judio]

That is because Cardiff play on the Sunday so can't play Tuesday 30th

Reading on the other hand are playing Friday in the cup

So their Saturday game is moved to Tues 30th

Also they can't play on Wednesday as their opposition, Bolton, are playing 2 days later on the Friday.

[mad dog]

The league cup final day Feb 25th If Chelsea win tonight will mean they’ll be no premier league game as the only game that day would be Man U v Chelsea. . Do we think they’ll move a game from Saturday to the Sunday or just leave it?

[SamD]

In reply: currently, Crystal Palace v Tottenham is scheduled for 8pm on Mon 26 Feb. But if Spurs are in an FA Cup 5th-round replay, the PL match will move to 12 noon on Sun 25 Feb and still be live on Sky.

In any case, the League Cup Final itself will be televised by Sky Sports on Sun 25 Feb.

[SamD]

Confirmed Sky Sports TV fixtures on Sun 25 Feb:

Premier League: Man Utd v Chelsea, 14:05 GMT

Carabao Cup Final, Wembley: Arsenal v Man City, 16:30

And if Tottenham need a replay in FA Cup fifth round then
Crystal Palace v Spurs PL match will be brought forward from Mon 26 Feb and played at noon, Sun.

[Judio]

Perfect for Sky

They have a huge Sunday

Then a repeat of Arsenal v ManC on the Thursday

[mad dog]

Wonder how spurs unexpected 4th round replay will affect things

[get_on_my_cocker]

Replays set to be played 13/14 Feb? So just 3/4 days before the 5th round. That seems very close - Spurs/Newport v Swansea/Notts Co would be tricky to plan for!

[SamD]

No, a week earlier. FA Cup 4th round replays will be scheduled on Tue-Wed 6-7 Feb.

Following mid-week will mark start of Champions/Europa League KO stage.

See fixture grid in third post of this screen/page dated 10 Jan.

[get_on_my_cocker]

Yeah, sorry, I was looking at the wrong week.

[Judio]

[Judio]
