Doesn't that just mean it could revert back to the day before if they did get through...which they did?Ask Everton.

Why can’t we just move it back a day to the Saturday?

If City face a CL SF 2nd leg on 16th April then the 14th becomes too close.
I suspect their game v Leeds takes place a day earlier on April 6th to give them 3 days until the SF 1st leg and they play us on the 13th April three days before the 2nd leg.
There's scope for them to bring both games forward one day.

Play at 11.45 pm on a Sunday night. Kyle walker will be busy and it will be past haaland's bed time
We drew 1-1 away ....Does it matter what week they spank us?
Not like we're beating them whatever week we play them is it

It was due for live TV coverage so I don't think that is an option, what about the Friday night?

Rather that than an early Saturday start with no atmosphere to get at City.

If it's switched it'll be because they play on the Tuesday after, which means they'll play on the Wednesday before, so it won't be Friday. It'll probably be 5.30 on Saturday (if slot is available). Either way, they could have waited until next Wednesday to re-arrange a game that they might have to re-arrange again.

It's a mess...but it's their mess to live with.
I've seen countless times CL semi finalists playing domestic matches 3 days before.
We didn't ask them to get through. The fixture had been changed once already. I accept they'll need more than 2 days to prepare, but I think what you suggest - late Saturday KO - is perfectly reasonable.
There can be no attempt to shift this fixture toward the end of the season.
