Two Premier League home games in October have been selected for live coverage by Sky Sports.

The Amex fixture against Arsenal will now kick off at 5.30pm on Saturday 2 October.

And the visit of Manchester City, on Saturday 23 October, will also be a 5.30pm kick off.

Selfishly I’m fine with these as I’m likely to become a Dad for the second time in October so Amex trips might be tricky at points…

Later kick off is better for me - I think (I shall be in a better position to judge this after comparing Watford to Everton)

Saturday at 5.30pm is a total pain
Ruins the evening and also the afternoon. The time for games should be 3.00pm or 7.30pm/8.00pm

Couldn't give a rat's arse about kick off time, I'm just grateful to be watching live football in a full stadium again.

I was hoping they would move the Liverpool game so I could make it. Selfishly, my daughter decided to be born on 30th October back in 2008

Yup completely. Hate the 5.30 kick offs. They cost me extra brownie points with Mrs P.

5.30 on a Saturday is better than a weekday at 8PM I suppose.

Anyone like to hazard a guess when the 5.30 Watford game will actually kick off what with the chaos of getting everyone through the checks?

Salute the unborn that knows to go early Saturday or to leave until Sunday. Blue and white goes deeper than many of us realise.

I missed Wycombe at home on 18th April 1995 after Harty Jnr turned up at Southlands at 4.30am that morning.

(Liam Brady allegedly resigned after that game only to have Messrs Ryan and Case talk him round)
