One of the three outstanding Premier League fixtures without a date has been rescheduled, slotting into Double Gameweek 36 as expected.
That match is Newcastle United v Brighton and Hove Albion, which gives those two teams the following doubles:
CONFIRMED GAMEWEEK 36 DOUBLES
- Brighton: Arsenal (a) + Newcastle (a)
- Newcastle: Leeds (a) + Brighton (h)
Two more fixtures remain outstanding but there is a strong likelihood that they slot into Gameweek 37.
Brighton v Man City can’t go anywhere else following the Citizens’ progression to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, while Man Utd v Chelsea will only have one place to go – also Gameweek 37 – if the Red Devils make it past Sevilla this evening.
Even if Erik ten Hag’s side are knocked out in Spain, it’d be a strange choice to ignore the free midweek after Gameweek 37 and rearrange the Chelsea game for a European night in Gameweeks 35/36.
PROSPECTIVE GAMEWEEK 37 DOUBLES
- Brighton: Southampton (h) + Man City (h)
- Chelsea: Man City (a) + Man Utd (a)
- Man City: Chelsea (h) + Brighton (a)
- Man Utd: Bournemouth (a) + Chelsea (h)
