Telegraph:
Both Manchester clubs will feature as seeds in Friday’s Europa League draw, meaning both have the advantage of playing their second legs at home.
With police and city authorities ruling out the two clubs playing on the same day and United having first choice as English champions,Manchester City have to move to a Tuesday or Wednesday, with a 5pm kick-off to avoid a clash with Champions League games on the same nights.
Early kickoffs, less people at the matches but more time to recover for the PL matches.
