... February TV fixtures will be no later than Friday 20th December.
It will be interesting to see who is picked to play on which weekend. Can't really decide which one will be better for us tbh. However, I suspect we will end up with the worst outcome and Varpool with the most beneficial.Some new information on this now...

Unless if course your team is called liverpool!!!Given that the PL don't like to help teams in Europe just watch them move our game against Leicester to the late Sunday afternoon slot to give us even less time to prepare for the 1st leg
Arsenal will have to move to Sunday as they play in Europa on the Thursday.Our February Fixtures
Sat 1 Feb - Tottenham (A)
Sat 8 Feb - West Ham (H)
Sat 22 Feb - Leicester (A)
Sat 29 Feb - Arsenal (H)
So basically all would move ...
- Tottenham would move to Super Sunday or MNF, Mourinhio vs Pep ...
- West Ham at home might not move for TV but could move to Sat 15th as that's the split gameweek for winter break.
- Leicester would certainly be on TV and CAN now move to Sunday as well given our CL R16 game is following Wednesday.
- Arsenal again would most certainly not be on Saturday now, given we'd have played Real Madrid on Wed prior plus it'll probably be Arteta v Pep ...
Plus League Cup Final is 1st March ... so that Arsenal game could be pending for an available mid-week anyway ;)
Not surprising, but they knew when the draw was prior to publishing when they were going to make the TV selection announcements. It's hard not to come to the conclusion that they're thick.
