Man City at home

[Cleo]

Can someone explain to me why the home game against Man City is scheduled for Sunday the 10th of April 15.00?
All the other fixtures from February until the last game haven't been touched by the tv companies and are still scheduled for the "normal" slot on Saturdays 15.00?? (off course apart from midweek games and the last game)

maybe their anticipating a straight fight between us and man city for the champions league spot by that time. is strange though.

Europa League quarter finals on thursday 7th april. They will be expecting one or both of us to make the quarters atleast so then we will play this match on the sunday

The home game against Spurs has been moved too, from May 14th to the 15th.

That's normal - all games in the last round are played at the same time on a Sunday

A very knowledgeable friend of mine has solved the mystery.
The game will be played on Sunday 10th because The Grand National will be held on
Saturday 9th April 2011

And you don't think its because both teams play in the europa league on a thursday night?

They wouldnt move the fixture for that, this far in advance, especially when there's no certainty that either side will still be in the Europa. It's down to the Grand National, same as every year whenever either us or Everton are scheduled to play at home that weekend.
