Can the derby date be changed?

An early away goal could be quite amusing.
Capable. They were all over United in the first leg. Had about 20 shots more. Correa could have scored a hat-trick, think they'll get at least two away goals tonight. But I'm not ruling out the swamp dwellers getting a late result like Palace.

No Navas.. shame that. Nolito on the bench.
 
All depends on who qualifies and who gets drawn to play Wed/Tue the week before the derby weekend and Tue/Wed the week after the derby. 3 games can shift involving City/United, Liverpool and Chelsea (should they manage to do us the favour of the century).

The draw is just the ties isnt it? Do they actually do a separate draw for who play Tues and who plays on a Wed?? Have to be honest, I thought the night of the games was just a TV company carve up afterwards (at which UK Sky tv wont have a seat?)

The draw gives us the ties and the TV And clubs go into negotiations before announcing match days.
BT will want Liverpool and Utd on separate nights - if Utd qualify....

We’re still in the QFs so wait for Fri draw and ties days for us, Liverpool (and if Chelsea can go through tomorrow by some miracle) ... won’t know till then!
 
Some people say the Monday.
How can it be when the 2nd legs are that week?
 
Is it only me thinking why this should have to move? What scenarios would necessitate a move?
 
Am I right in thinking that City and Liverpool can't play on the same night (unless we draw each other obviously). And it just depends now on which 'side' of the draw we are on. If City are on the Tuesday side then Liverpool will be on the Wednesday side. If that is the case then it stays as it is. If it's the other way round then our respective league games which are scheduled for Saturday (us) and Sunday (Liverpool) will be switched around.

Hence the 50% chance of being moved. We can play the same night as Liverpool (outside the 50km) if Chelsea get through, but there will still be a Tuesday team to swap with if we are drawn on Wed.
