In our Europa League double-header, there was no end of problems at both grounds last term. Both clubs received hefty fines, with offensive chants, banners and fights clouding a brilliant Liverpool win.

With the game being on Monday and not Thursday there may be less chance of trouble, but we wouldn’t be surprised – and the authorities will have to look at themselves for this scheduling decision.

Here’s the other games changed, and to which times and dates:

Swansea (A): Sunday, October 1 12.30pm

Manchester United (H): Monday, October 17 8pm

West Brom (H): Saturday, October 22 5.30pm

Crystal Palace (A): Saturday, October 29 5.30pm

Watford (H): Sunday, November 6, 2.15pm
