Liverpool isn't confirmed. Villa have delayed ticket sales for a week so I imagine there is some scenario planning going on over that one. We'd presumably want to play on the Friday night if we get to the final

I don't think any PL games will be played Saturday because of the FA Cup final

I hope we don't do Friday but bring it to Wednesday or Thursday instead. But we should get this moved or the PL will be shown up for the twats they are after moving the Plop and Spurs matches last season over our protestations, then not moving one we wanted moving (IIRC).

Looks like it's confirmed now - or is that still pending confirmation?

It better not be on the fucking Sunday if we are playing on the following Wednesday.

Looks like we never bothered asking for the move at all, unless even we didn't want to jinx it and we ask only if we get through.

Looking elsewhere it seems Forest's match against Man U before the Europa League Final is a Monday night, so that will surely change.

Given that we can't play on the Saturday, why not just move both Villa and Forest games to the preceding Friday now and save pissing fans about later on?

Live football on tv hasn't got any fixtures listed for that weekend yet. The most sensible course of action would be to move both to Friday night now. The next most sensible is either/or with whoever wins our semi being on the Friday

Its the latter we would come across as arrogant if we asked now and we havebt even beaten forest yet. But disrespectful to forest too.

But also moved to Sunday at 12.30 if we don't.

Aston Villa’s Premier League meeting with Liverpool at Villa Park has been brought forward for live television coverage.

The Villans will host the Reds in their final home game of the season on Sunday, May 17. Originally set to kick off at 3pm, the clash will now get underway at 12.30pm, live on Sky Sports.

However, should Unai Emery’s men reach the UEFA Europa League final, the game will then be brought forward further, to kick off at 8pm on Friday, May 15, remaining live on Sky Sports.

Crap for planning travel but glad the Friday night option is there should it be required

I would have preferred Wednesday as I thought we had a poor record on Fridays.
