With Leicester losing to Villa last night in the EFL cup semi final then does that mean our Brentford match will now remain as a 3:00 Saturday kickoff? and not be moved to the Friday.
I'd assumed the wait for the Leicester result was due to the EFL final being that weekend (Sun 1st) and currently Norwich v Leicester is the scheduled Sky Friday night game, so an alternative would have been needed if Leicester had made the final.
So the Norwich/Leicester game can now take place on the Friday and we can play Saturday as originally scheduled.
