Can the derby date be changed?

[Nightmare Walking]

Is the correct answer. If the game is on the Saturday it will definitely kick off at 5.30pm. But it may get switched to the Sunday.

Chelsea West Ham could also be switched if Chelsea manage to get through.

Sky wants the derby on Sunday and waiting for the draw on 16th for the CL QFs ... there’s a possibility that the Scum drop out altogether from there or another possibility being us two drawing each other in which case the CL QF won’t be divided over tue for one and wed for the other club but would just be the one game ... in all these scenarios and also depending on Liverpool and Chelsea’s games (CL TV schedules might dictate who plays Tue and who plays Wed) ... Sky’s preference remains Sunday derby so wait and see ...

April fixtures for us have all been picked by Tv and all are subject to this or that ...

Really hope not, recently booked flights to come over from 5th April until 9th April...

You'll be fine, it will be on either 7th or 8th.

not till march 16th

We get wednesday CL ties and scouse get tuesday ones (providing we don't get each other) then our derbies can be swapped.

if we get the scousers and play wednesday ties our game could get swapped with chelsea v whu

I think

If it was just a question of either 12:30 or 17:30 on the Saturday, I'm sure the club would have made this clear to help fans plan (or am I being a bit too naive). Can only assume Sunday is a possibiity for whatever reason. At least we should now by this time next week when the CL draw has been made...or whenever after that the telly people decide.

So they'd make it clear if the time on Sat might change but not if it might be moved to the following day ...

They (club and Prem League) must know the permutations - they've said about some - and it's just ridiculous that there's this uncertainty.

Meanwhile they still can't manage to send an email to announce when away tickets go on sale.

So providing we match or better United's result in the next game then we can win the league in the derby. Surely they won't actually let this game happen at 5.30pm? Also think they should be asking for ID off united fans to make sure only the named ticket holder can get into their end. As has been mentioned before, quite a few of their fans probs won't fancy this but if those tickets end up in the hands of City fans it will kick off big style.

Spurs could get 85 points if they win all their games
So would have to be 2 wins to clinch title
against rags
Though if City and rags both draw next game a City win would probably be enough on goal difference bar a miracle

Yep, although Spurs away at Chelsea next so there's a decent chance they'll drop points in the next game.

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).
