Everton’s next home game against Arsenal has been pushed back 24 hours and will now kick off at 4:30 pm on Sunday 17 September.
The match was originally rescheduled as the 5:30 pm kick-off the day before and screened by Sky Sports but, following the Champions League draw and the subsequent need to move Premier League fixtures around accordingly, the Blues’ clash with the Gunners has been moved again.
Newcastle’s home fixture with Brentford has been moved to the Saturday evening slot and Everton vs Arsenal takes the later Sunday position in Sky’s broadcast schedule.
The move has been met with anger by many supporters who have already booked travel in the expectation of a Saturday kick-off and has been seen as another example of the disregard the League have for travelling fans.
