Arsenal vs Everton - presumably on ITV1 but whoever shows it - will not happen at 5:30pm on the Saturday.
Reasons why:
- Bayern Munch vs Arsenal on Tuesday March 11th would seem to rule out the Sunday March 9th date. Can you imagine the fuss if Arsenal have to play 2 days before playing Bayern in the CL 2nd leg?
- Chelsea vs Spurs (in the league) on Saturday March 8th is a 5:30pm kick off live on Sky. The Met Police won't want 2 major games kicking off at the same time in the capital, and in addition, ITV/BT Sport (depending who shows the game) won't want their flagship game going head to head and thus reducing the potential audience for it.
- All signs would seem to point towards a 12:45pm Saturday March 8th kick off for Arsenal vs Everton. Not ideal for the tv companies as I'm sure they'd want 5:30pm as it is the better timeslot, but that's just the way things go.
Unless Sky move Chelsea vs Spurs to 4pm on the Sunday (in place of the now postponed Newcastle vs Everton game), in which case, Arsenal vs Everton could kick off on the Saturday at 5:30pm with no opposition. Remains to be seen whether Sky would do that though, with the tv fixtures already announced and both clubs already selling tickets for the Sat Mar 8, 5:30pm kick off date and time.

Guess your a fellow Everton fan, id love playing Aresnal on the Sunday and them playing a changed 11
Aresnal v Everton on a Friday night it wouldn't be the weirdest decision,
What up against Premier League matches, involving, Man U, Chelsea, Spurs, aren't they normally 3 clubs, who are treated like god on this forum, and if the matches don't involve them.

They might as well be on BBC4 lol
Yes, up against Premier League matches. ITV will get a FAR higher TV audience, its one of the main 2 channels in the country.

This is really bad for football fans. When Sky Sports get the FA Cup back, it will be better. Since they lost the FA Cup, we have had matches clashing. I had to record one match and watch it on tape delay. I remember a semi-final on BBC clashed with Arsenal - Liverpool years ago. Not good.
It's with BT and the BBC from next season for four years.
Will the bbc go back to Sunday night games again like years ago. Might do as it would resolve the big league and cup tv clashes that happen at this stage

I agree 100%.
On Sky Sports, you got Chelsea v Tottenham at 5.30pm on Saturday.
Newcastle v Everton at 4.00pm Sunday but will now have to be postponed.

Big Everton fan!:D
Can't see it being on the Sunday, unfortunately. I think we have a chance, played well and got a draw at the Emirates earlier in the season.
ITV - Arsenal v Everton
BT - Man City v Wigan
ITV - Sheffield United v Sheffield Wednesday/Charlton
BT - Brighton/Hull v Sunderland
