What are the odds of the game being moved to Sunday??

Still 50/50 surely.

I think it depends on who United get in the next round of the champions league :)

Don't see how Liverpool game in UCL can affect it?

Not who they get ... but who out of City and Liverpool plays on Tue and who plays on Wed would dictate ... the manchester derby and the merseyside derby can swap sat for sun depending on that ... and THAT we won't know till an hour or so after the draw takes place this Friday!

The Everton game is still 17.30, and we could potentially be playing the following Tuesday, so why should the date for the derby be changed?

Don't think the day can change due to champions league but the time can change from 5.30 to 12.30

That would make more sense for safety reasons because we all know its going to go off at some point as it did when Denis back healed them into division 2. This may not be on that kind of level but rest assured the rags arses are out now.

It won't if we're playing the following Tuesday but if Liverpool are on Tuesday and us on Wednesday then their game vs Everton (currently Sunday 2-15pm) would probably be swapped with ours. If we draw Liverpool and are playing on the following Tuesday I'm guessing the Merseyside derby will move to 12-30pm Saturday which is currently vacant. The other odd point about that weekend is that BT do not currently have any Prem fixture scheduled.

I still want it at 5.30 on the Saturday.Lots of time for celebratory beers before and after even if it gives GMP a headache.
