Four Everton Premier League fixtures moved for TV coverage

Four of Everton’s upcoming Premier League fixtures have been moved after being selected for live television coverage.

All four games are scheduled to take place in April and May, with the first one to be moved coming on the opening weekend of April. Originally scheduled for Saturday 1, the game has been moved to Monday 3, and will be live on Sky Sports.

Everton then make the trip to Old Trafford five days later, with the game now set to kick-off at 12.30pm instead of 3pm. The match will also be shown live on BT Sport.

The home fixture against Newcastle United, initially scheduled for Tuesday, April 25, will now take place two days later, on Thursday 27. Kick-off will be at 7.45pm and the match will be shown live on BT Sport.

And, finally, Everton's trip to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City a few days later has been moved to Monday, May 1. The game will be shown live on Sky Sports and kick-off at 8pm.

Speaking after Saturday’s 1-0 win over Leeds United, Blues boss Sean Dyche spoke about making Goodison a fortress, he said: "We want to make this a tough place to come and we are doing that with two wins and two clean sheets.

“Home form is a big help, we want it to become a fortress. We're getting there but it takes time and belief. It's a one game at a time mentality, that what I believe. The work starts again on Monday and I've assured them of that."
