Struggles to avoid relegation This coming weekend, Leicester City will play host to Manchester United at the King Power Stadium; however, the match will take place at an unusual time.
It appears that the Foxes are on the verge of being relegated for the second time in the past three seasons, as they have lost their last six matches across all competitions.
They need to start picking up points if they want to avoid being dropped from the league, and they have a chance to do so against a Manchester United team that is struggling.
The team coached by Ruben Amorim is currently languishing in the bottom half of the table, with almost nothing available for them to compete for.
Consequently, this presents a significant opportunity for the Foxes to launch a late bid for survival; however, the match is scheduled to begin at an unusual time.
Why does the match between Leicester and Manchester United take place at seven o’clock?
The Carabao Cup final between Liverpool and Newcastle United has caused this match to be moved later than originally scheduled.
This particular match is scheduled to take place at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, March 16, and it is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m.
Due to the commitments that Manchester United has in Europe, this match has been moved from its original date of Saturday, March 15, on which it was originally scheduled to take place.
On Thursday, the Red Devils will be competing in the Europa League at Old Trafford against Real Sociedad during their match.
After the first leg of the match, the score is tied at 1-1, and the winner of this match will advance to the quarterfinals.
Following that, it was chosen to be broadcast on television; however, due to the Carabao Cup, the typical Sunday time slots of 2:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. were both unavailable.
This game will be broadcast on both Main Event and Premier League by Sky Sports, with coverage on Main Event beginning after the conclusion of the cup final tournament.
In the event that the game decides to go to extra time and penalties, the broadcast will most likely begin approximately halfway through the first half.
In the meantime, starting at six o’clock, the buildup will begin on the Premier League.
