Why is Everton v Man Utd a late kick-off on Sunday?
BT Sport had selected Everton v Manchester United for broadcast in week nine, with the game intended to be played in their Saturday lunchtime slot.
However, United played against Omonia in Nicosia, Cyprus on Thursday evening, meaning there wouldn't be a 48-hour gap between matches. Teams are not permitted to play another game without that compulsory break.
For this reason, BT Sport reserve the mostly unused 7pm Sunday slot for instances such as this.
Of course, that hasn't gone down well with football fans aiming to attend the game, despite the close proximity of the teams with regular trains running after the full-time whistle blows.
Had the teams been situated further apart, it could have created an even greater logistical nightmare for fans to navigate.
