Worth noting that as well as the two televised games in the UK having non-standard kick-off times this Sunday, the other fixture to take place, Sheffield United v. Chelsea, is at the very rare Sunday kick-off time of 17:30. The match had originally been moved to Sunday lunchtime due to Thursday's fixtures, and then was moved to the evening because of the Sheffield Half Marathon. The Sheffield Star reported that the police were fine with the originally scheduled 13:30 kick-off, but I'd think it was probably sensible to avoid both large sets of crowds be on the transport system at similar times.
