I suspect (but I’m not 100% sure) that there won’t be any games at lunchtime on that Saturday due to the coronation.
Definitely won't be the Saturday lunchtime. 3pm (workable as no EFL matches that day) or 7.45pm on Saturday will be the two options under consideration. Police may have a view too of course. Has to be played that day with Brighton being the last midweek of the season.

Yep, 3 - 3:30 is an option, finish in time for the Dipper game at 5:30, would definitely have to be televised though, anyone know the rules that could be over ridden to allow this to happen?
 
Wonder if we are pushing for a really radical change to the fixtures, IE

Bring the Fulham game forward to Saturday 5:30, televised, no other games.

Bring the West Ham game forward to Tuesday from Wednesday.

Play the Leeds game on Friday night, no other games.

That would mean an extra day to prepare for Real away.

As far as I’m aware once a broadcaster picks a game, that stays in place irrespective of when it’s actually played. I don’t think there’s any precedent of a PL game being selected for live TV but ultimately ending up not being screened.
 
This Leeds thing is a bit of a pain to put it mildly. There was always a chance we could be on the Tuesday for the first leg and the date of the coronation was announced months ago. Leeds has to move to Satirday and this should have been ironed out as soon as Liverpool were knocked out as that is where the flexibility is, if they want to swap a fixture.
Not fair on all concerned and badly done.

Least bad is 3 30 imho
