I've heard huddersfield is Friday night and Chelsea is 205pm Sunday

Heard the same as well, hopefully we'll find out for definite later on today. Although if true, the Chelsea game could still move if we get through to the quarters and get drawn to play on the Tuesday, also Chelsea could be playing in Europe the previous Thursday so if they both happen, no doubt the fixture will be postponed and re scheduled for a different midweek.

If both us and Chelsea get through in Europe you would hope someone would have the sense to speak to UEFA and request our second leg quarter final to be played on the Wednesday instead of Tuesday.

Yeah I imagine that would happen.

Which apparently would make Southampton away 7.45 Saturday. 4pm Sunday if we aren’t playing Tuesday.

[ant]

Chelsea could play the Wednesday and not the Thursday, Sevilla played their Europa League game at home on the Wednesday cos Betis played the Thursday in the same city.

We have had the max number of Sunday 4pm in that package. Doesnt mean they cant claim its from a diff package but moved for our convenience.

Any idea what package the 19:45 sat games come out of?

Absolutely no idea. I’d have thought the logical time for Southampton was 12.30 Saturday but apparently not.

Tottenham have played 2 games at 1945 on a Saturday, one was televised on BT Sport (Package F) & the other was on Sky, doesn't have 1945 as one of their packages, so could be any of them.  Who knows!!

Also heard:

Chelsea - Sunday 2.05

[TeddyTime33]

Southampton Friday April 5th-8pm
Chelsea Sunday  April 14th-4:30pm(could still be moved)
Cardiff Sunday April 21st-4pm
Huddersfield Friday April 26th-8pm
Least we will be playing before City 2 weeks

[Kopite787]

Southampton Friday 5th-8pm
Chelsea Sunday  April 14th-4:30pm(could still be moved)
Cardiff Sunday April 21st-4pm
Huddersfield Friday 26th-8pm
Least we will be playing before City 2 weeks

What allocation do Cardiff and Southampton give?

Ok think Southampton is around 3300 and Cardiff 1800, correct me if I’m wrong

[Fazak_Red]

Cardiff is about 3000.

[AR48]

When might the Chelsea game move to?

[kopitenkw]

Liverpool's four Premier League fixtures for April have today been rescheduled for broadcast purposes.

The Reds’ encounter with Southampton at St Mary’s will be contested a day earlier, with the fixture now set for Friday April 5 at 8pm.

Our Anfield clash with Chelsea has been moved to Sunday April 14, with kick-off set for 4.30pm. This match is subject to further change in the event of Liverpool reaching the Champions League quarter-finals and scheduling.

The trip to Cardiff City will now be played on Sunday April 21, getting under way at 4pm.

Finally, Huddersfield Town’s visit to Anfield has been rescheduled for Friday April 26 with an 8pm kick-off.

All games will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

[grossagain]

When might the Chelsea game move to?

I'm not convinced it would be even if we do play the following Tuesday (although might be wrong if there's existing precedent?), given that they chose to put us on at 12pm Sunday for Burnley when they already knew we were playing Bayern away the following Tuesday. The only other free times for the Chelsea game are midweek between the Spurs and Southampton games, and midweek between the Cardiff and Huddersfield games, but in both cases those weekend fixtures are Sunday then Friday, so it'd be a similarly small gap there anyway.

(Nevermind, just seen the above post that they might move it. But I don't see a good spot for it).

[Hightown Phil]

If Chelsea stay in the Europa League it won't move, we'll just play our Champions League games Tuesday/Wednesday if we qualify against Bayern.

Munich away is the Weds night.

anybody know why Huddersfield is subject to change due to Champions league when there is no champions league games week prior to the game

[stevienash]

Cardiff will be about 3k

was only on sky site that. they have it wrong.

[Hightown Phil]

I think there's one way you know. But it's so unlikely it's not worth worrying about. And it would involve Spurs playing City in a Champions League semi on the Tuesday.

...or united score 3 in paris and play one of them. Yep, you're right...not happening.

[Craig S]

What's the point of having the max number of games per team in these packages if they can just fuck us over?

Only meant to have max of 3 fri/mon games, and they have now allocated us 4. 3 of those being away.

It's 4 in that package, not 3. (Presume you meant 5 and 4 though)

[ant]

Package E : 20:00 Friday or 20:00 Monday - SKY 4 games maximum for this package

Palace A, West Ham A, Saints A, Huddersfield H

[Hightown Phil]

Package E : 20:00 Friday or 20:00 Monday - SKY 4 games maximum for this package

Palace A, West Ham A, Saints A, Huddersfield H

Also Wolves.

Yes I did, sorry.

Package E : 20:00 Friday or 20:00 Monday - SKY 4 games maximum for this package

Palace A, West Ham A, Saints A, Huddersfield H

And Wolves A.

4 out of 5 away. 3 of them at least mean a half day off work to travel.

[bradders1011]

First time in years I won't be going to St. Mary's then. I'll dance a merry jig the day the bubble bursts.

[grossagain]

Just seen that Spurs game on the weekend we play Chelsea is 12:30 Saturday, but subject to change. Maybe they'd swap that fixture with us or City depending on Champions League? Makes no sense for it to be subject to change otherwise.

Munich away is the Weds night.

Yeah you're right. Just remembered it as strange that we wouldn't be on the Saturday if they're bothered about the champions league.

[Alisson Wonderland]

City away at Palace the same day we play Chelsea at home.  Sounds spookily familiar. 

With the games reversed I'm looking forward to Fernandinho slipping to let Batshuayi in to score 

[redgriffin73]

The club is offering free coach travel to the Southampton game, with a £5 reservation fee going to the Sean Cox appeal.

[Shanklygates]

So why do they bother having limits on Fri + Mon <=4 if they can just do what they like?!

Quite relieved that Cardiff isn't the Monday and that we have 2 before City but not very happy about Southampton.

[Alf]

I was under the impression the Monday-Friday limit was 5. Work won’t be too thrilled about me leaving early to go to Southampton on the last day of the tax year, shame 🍺

[ant]

Also Wolves.

you posted earlier that Wolves didnt count so I didnt note it, just the 4 that count first in the package. they seem to do what they want anyway !

[Hightown Phil]

The FA Cup one didn’t.

[Giovanni]

Might just be me, but a day off work to have 15 hours on the ale on the coach with all your mates when liverpool go for the title is fucking boss.

Not ideal on annual leave, but fuck it.

[rodderzzz]

for the lads/lasses who have figured out the intricacies of the TV scheduling better than I can, any predictions on when our game against Newcastle away is likely to be scheduled for?

[Statto Red]

 Monday that week is a bank holiday which is a separate package from the normal Monday/Friday matches, in normal circumstances Newcastle away would be then, however that's also Champions League semis[midweek before & after], so most likely be a Saturday fixture

[Hightown Phil]

They announce it a week Friday so they’ll no doubt do that really shit thing and schedule one of us and City for different days with the contingency that they swap them if needed. So if the CL semi ends up Tuesday we’ll play Saturday and if it’s Wednesday we play Sunday or we both play Saturday.

[campioni]

Am I right in thinking it can't be Saturday 5.30pm as BT have no Liverpool league games left? Newcastle vs Liverpool Saturday 12.30pm and Man City vs Leicester 5.30pm would seem to be the easiest solution without having to put conditions on it.

Can't see Sky letting BT have a game where Man City could (potentially although obviously not happening) win the league though.
