Why Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest has been given a strange start time this Sunday as changes to Premier League matches continue

Tottenham's home game against Nottingham Forest this weekend had a very strange schedule.

Spurs They were due to play Forest on Monday, April 8, but the game was brought forward.

This change is not ideal for fans of both clubs, who have been forced to make a late change to their travel plans.

Why will Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest start at an unusual time?

This game was originally due to start at 8pm on Monday, but will now take place at 6pm on Sunday, April 7.

The decision to reschedule the match is due to rail and subway strikes, which threaten to cause travel chaos for both sets of supporters on the original match day.

The clash will be broadcast live on talkSPORT.

It has also been picked up for television coverage and will continue to be broadcast, with Sky Sports showing the action.

A Premier League spokesperson said: “The Premier League apologizes unreservedly to the supporters of both clubs and everyone affected by the inconvenience and disruption caused by this late change of schedule.

“The change is due to issues beyond the League's control, namely the decision to implement rail and tube strikes on Monday 8 April and the resulting reduction in available travel services.

“This has resulted in the local authority's Safety and Advisory Group determining that it is not possible to organize the match with the required levels of safety for fans in attendance.”

The start at 18:00 means that it will coincide with the match between Sheffield United and Chelsea earring which will take place at 5:30 p.m.

That rearrangement came after the decision of the Manchester United vs Liverpool movement at the previous start of 3:30 p.m.
