Tonight had no impact on the West Ham game, its the next round where if we win it then West Ham will move
It will move if either team is still involved in the cup. We could go out in the next round but the West Ham game would still move if the Hammers reach the sixth round.
 
The first game in March is also away at Bristol City in the FA Cup.
Which could be last game on Feb ... as it could be Tue or Wed ... just waiting for TV picks to get confirmed then we'd know exactly where to put it, will update calendar then.
 
Bristol City (A) fixture updated in the calendar. Now we have seven ties in February, six of which are away!
 
What are the chances of our Home match, v Arsenal at Home on Wednesday 26th April being moved to Tuesday/Thursday for TV!? Brighton Away or possible FA Cup Semi the weekend before and Fulham Away weekend after? I think the Wednesday must be pretty set?

That mid-week fixture isn't Amazon Prime's so Sky could very well pick it (and most likely will) ... so to maximize their title-race/title-decider marketing point of view could put the rest of their mid-week fixtures on Tue/Wed and put us exclusive as the only LIVE game on Thursday ... they'd simply have to pick our Fulham game next weekend as well and put it on Monday night football (easily doable as that midweek is free - for now) ... or alternatively BT Sport could pick that Fulham game and put in on their Sat 12:30pm slot forcing Arsenal game to be on Tue ... (or PL might decide that's a good way to screw us and collude with the two TV companies to do just that, have us play on Wed for Sky and Sat early on BT) ...

So don't book nothing yet ... April TV picks get announced on 21st February; sit tight till then, any of Tue, Wed or Thu are all possible as it stands!

I noticed that the Game week of the Arsenal game has already been split Tuesday/Wednesday, is that normal this early or an indicator its likely Wednesday?

Yeah that's a weird one, PL has listed fixtures in four slots 7:45pm and 8:0pm on Tue and same two slots on Wed as well. Normally they'd put all at Sat 3pm or Tue 7:45pm TILL the TV companies pick their ties ...

I'd still not read too much into it - TV picks will run the rule over who plays when and it's is very very likely Sky would want the "title-decider" and not have any other game at that time (at least not televised). Give it another 17 days (till 21st Feb) and we'd know for certain. Last thing I'd like though (and is still possible) that they announce a Tue fixture with some caveat that should either team be playing FA Cup semi-final on Sunday then this would be on Thu etc.
 
April fixtures out this Tuesday (21st), that’s six premier league games including the home games against Liverpool and Arsenal.
 
That’s if they release them today , not seen anything yet .
They actually had it penciled in for 22nd first when they first announced the set of dates, but later changed the date to 21st so must be something in it ... anyway, they have known to come out as late as 5 and 6pm so there's still time.
 
Just like magic ... it's dropped:



All of our Premier League fixtures in April have been scheduled for live TV coverage.

We start the month with the visit of Liverpool to the Etihad Stadium and the game will now take place on Saturday 1 April, with a kick-off scheduled for 12:30 (UK).

The following weekend, we travel to Southampton with the game now scheduled for Sunday 9 April with a 14:00 kick-off. However, the fixture could be rearranged to Saturday at 17:30 or 19:45 depending on City’s participation in the Champions League.

Our home game with Leicester City is now scheduled for Sunday 16 April with a 16:30 kick-off. That is dependent on City’s participation in the Champions League and Manchester United’s involvement in the Europa League and could be moved to Saturday at 17:30 or 19:45.

City’s game with Brighton at the Amex Stadium has been switched to Sunday 23 April with a 16:30 kick-off. However, the game with be rearranged if either Club reaches the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Lots of ifs and buts
 
Why would United’s involvement in the Europa League have any bearing on our game against Leicester?
