Posted in another thread a minute ago. If Everton get to the Europa group stages (2 rounds to negotiate) OR Liverpool drop into the Europa League this match can only be on the Wednesday night. If the possibility of a Tuesday night exists, then nothing can be ruled in or out if BT Sport decide they want to televise this match and the derby is a Saturday match. Last year when the fixtures were announced Liverpool v Chelsea was down for a Wednesday night, it was played on the Tuesday night.
I know alot think Liverpool Vs Man United in October will definitely be the saturday but that weekend of matches seems to be the first round of matches for the next announcement of TV fixtures. Arsenal V Leicester were moved to the friday night for the first match in the first announcement of TV fixtures, is there a chance there will be a friday game again to start the next run of tv picks and could it be Liverpool Vs United? I see there isn't any obvious tv picks for that weekend maybe Brighton Vs Everton, Southampton Vs Newcastle, Watford Vs Arsenal or Palace Vs Chelsea that will fill the tv slots?
We have now been through five international breaks since the start of the new TV contract. There has never been a Friday game in any slot after the international break. I am assuming the slot is not available to Sky but have absolutely no definite proof. All the other top European Leagues allow it.
Regardless of anything else it's tough getting coutinho and firmino back in time for a Saturday game after the break it would be really unfair on clubs with players so far away
Is the spurs away game on 21st oct likely to be moved to the Sunday? When are oct TV fixtures announced ?
I think Friday or Monday night can be ruled out, after that......... We might possibly know by this day next week https://www.premierleague.com/news/419687
So this week they will announce he October/November games, but is it any day this week? From the other ones I can remember it's usually Thursday or Fridays when they announce it.
@redabbey what time does this announcement usually come out? It's due tomorrow for October and November
Could be anytime throughout the day without a 100% guarantee for tomorrow, but it was on this equivalent day last year at I think 3pm.
17:30 Liverpool v Chelsea (BT Sport) NB: Should Liverpool be scheduled to play in the UEFA Europa League the preceding Thursday, this match will move to Sunday 26 November, 12:00, live on BT Sport
Expected it but absolutely thrilled now it's confirmed. Beat them cunts early and it's a day on the sauce then with a big smile.
Looking at the fixtures, I don't like the look of Spurs game at 1.30pm on Sunday. There is a comment saying that if they play on a Tuesday in CL, it could be moved to 12.30pm on the Saturday on Sky. They would hardly move LFC Southampton to the Sunday at 1.30pm to fill that slot?
