Fixtures Calendar - 2023/24

3 champions league games at home on a Tuesday.

That sounds a bit suspicious...don't they normally alternate between Tuesday & Wednesday evening CL games depending on the tv networks, unless this doesn't occur for the group stage matches?

Not for group stage, it's always a mix bag ... for knockout rounds (R16, QF, SF) where it's two legged, it's always if first leg is on Tue then second one is on Wed (or vice versa).

Apologies if this has already been covered but why is our away game at Old Trafford a 3.30 ko on a Sunday?

Not really much of an explanation but United’s website apparently says:

“The unusual start time was agreed following consultation between the clubs, the broadcaster and local authorities.”

For the previous two seasons all the three home group games were on Wednesday and all the aways on Tuesday. I think it depends which half of the draw we end up in.

Yep. Tbh I thought that was known for some time. Has there been a press release today, or dates /KO times published?

Villa 7-45 5th,Everton 3pm Boxing day.

Nice one, cheers.

Edit. Just had a look - I’ll be amazed if all 10 of those Boxing Day games stay as 3pm KO’s mate.

Those two gameweeks were always Amazon Prime's and they get all 10 games for each of those gameweeks. And no times are confirmed yet, that'd come when that month's TV picks are confirmed (December's expected to be confirmed around mid October).

Villa (A) most likely to be moved to Wed, as our Spurs (H) game could possibly be on Sky's SuperSunday and same for Luton (A) as Sky would want to cover Haaland and the rest of our superstars walking into their ground, plus they already would have the weird stands ready to show during that one about how much our bench cost compared to whole Luton's whatever since whenever ...
