Newcastle United kick off at the unsual time of 7.30pm tonight.
Normally midweek fixtures are a 7.45pm start but has moved as a knock on effect of the new TV deal.
As part of the three year TV cycle, BT, Amazon and Sky agreed to show games at 7.30pm and 8.15pm in midweek and the Premier League say that even matches that aren’t televised should “move in line” with those selected for TV.
A statement on the Premier League’s website read: “The 2019/20 season is the first of the Premier League’s new three-year broadcast cycle, with kick-off times for midweek evening match rounds now ranging from 19:30 to 20:15.
“Kick-off times for UK non-live fixtures in these midweek evening match rounds will move in line with those selected for UK live coverage. This is in keeping with the general principle employed for weekend movements.”
United head to Merseyside looking to build on Saturday’s impressive win over Chelsea, which moved them seven points clear of the bottom three.
They played Everton over the festive period, losing 2-1 on December 28 in a tight encounter settled by Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s double.
