Sky were due to show Leicester v Swansea that night, but as both of those sides are still in the Carling Cup and the next round is played on the 26th/27th October, that game has been re-scheduled back to a 3pm Saturday match.
This left Sky with a gap in their Monday Night Football schedule, hence why our game has been moved to fill that hole. Surely good news regarding a bit more TV cash heading our way!
