Saw Watford put on twitter their game v Spurs might move as a result of Leicester going through in champions league. Draw on Friday will determine that.

UEFA have given Leicester the Wednesday date in Madrid on April 11.

So Watford Spurs can stay on Saturday

And Everton v Leicester can stay on Sunday
Which is good as Grand National on Saturday

Why did they take 4 days to announce the above which was obvious to all about 10 mins after the draw

    UEFA let Man City do the same last week.

    The other 2 games will be
    Midweek after Cup Semis
    Last midweek of season

    There are other league games on that sunday meaning a mega overlapping flange for TFFers.

    Weren't Man City fined by UEFA for this? And didn't the FA pay the fine? Or did I dream all that?!

    You dreamt it :) As much as UEFA like a good fine against City, if anyone were to be fined, it would be the Premier League.

    I stress this is rumour but ESPN is alledging that the Manchester derby wlll be on THURSDAY 27th April.

    With the Boro v City game pushed back 24 hours to Sunday 30th April. Grate news for any Boro or City fans who've booked trains or accomodation already. Not.

    I've heard a nasty rumour that the final TV changes won't be announced before April 20th, i.e. three weeks before the fixtures. :evil:

    Should that be true, they must be waiting for the Man U ELQF to be resolved before they commit to any schedule.

    I emailed the PL earlier this morning on this topic and they say:

    "We are currently finalising the broadcast selections and hope to make an announcement later today. Please continue to monitor our website for further developments."

    Agreed. Maybe moving forward the Everton v Watford game was problematic??? The rest should have been straight forward.
