It means those Blues planning to travel to the ground may find it more difficult to now with an earlier kick-off, and it is not the first time this season that their fixtures have been changed.
This of course continues the worrying trend of TV deals dictating when fixtures take place regardless of what travel disruptions and difficulties it causes for fans – plenty of Toffees reacting on social media just want to see a Saturday 3pm kick-off.

“Absolutely decimates the atmosphere”
“A weekend ruined nice and early”
