Still TBC, I put a placeholder date in for it when it was originally postponed (weekend of the EFL Cup final), would expect it'll be early May now.

I think the remaining games outstanding and their exact dates will be confirmed by Friday

One of the reasons for delay in announcement is SKY and BT working out how many more fixtures they can fit into their schedules, just like our Chelsea away game being selected now that is has changed date. There are a few games still to be re-arranged in the Premier League due to re-arrangements from Cup weekends, we have two with Arsenal and Man United, very few slots left for the Man United game due to their involvement in the Europa League.

They've even rescheduled Man City v Man Utd for a Thursday night at the end of April to maximise the number of games they can show.

To be fair, the City v United game had already been picked for TV, but the original had to be postponed due to the EFL Cup final. Similarly, Chelsea v Saints was due to be on TV anyway, but had to be pushed back to the following midweek because of Chelsea being in the FA Cup semi-final. They were original picks, so they'll still be shown, just at a different time to the original selection. Thursday's a bit weird, obviously, but both sides don't play until the Sunday on the next weekend, and I think they'll also fit another game in on the Wednesday.

 

The Saints v Man United game - also to be televised - can only be on Wednesday 17th May. With the notice the PL need to give both teams, they're not going to be able to wait and see if United end up ballsing up the Europa League tie against Anderlecht, so that last midweek of the season is the only available slot. It'll definitely be on the Wednesday rather than the Tuesday because if they get through against Anderlecht, they'll be playing on the preceding Thursday, so the weekend game will be on the Sunday.

It could be on Thursday. All the final games are Sunday.
