According to Spurs v Clarets fixture moved it was a request from both clubs, presumably to allow more rest after the games on Wed 14th.

Lovely. Stoke away at mid day only 2 days after Gent. They do love to fuck us up wherever they can...
It was only last year when the FA were crying about English clubs failure in Europe.. is there any wonder..
Think it may well be Stoke at home at 1.30pm.
For you poms, but over here those games start between 2:30 and 4:30am (depending on daylight savings) which is easily the worst kick off time
My bad. Still- not giving us much rest between games are they? Why not shift it to the later Sunday fixture or even Monday night?Think it may well be Stoke at home at 1.30pm.
'cos then everyone would bitch and moan about Monday night traffic, and getting there from work!
As the Ancient Proverb goes: Someone, Somewhere, is always gonna have a problem with a fixture change for TV!
Fair point. They happily moved us to MNF several times last year when it really didn't suit us though. I don't think most folk would mind too much being switched to a Monday if it could be seen as a benefit to us after a Thursday night game?
I'm not sure it's possible to get back from Liverpool by train after a 5.30 kick off though.
Everton (H) – now Sunday, March 5, kick-off 1.30pm - Sky Sports
Southampton (H) – now Sunday, March 19, kick-off 2.15pm - Sky Sports

And Palace away stays as 3 pm on Sat March 11th.
Will not be, if we are in the FA Cup quarter-finals and/or get past Gent.
Good point!Will not be, if we are in the FA Cup quarter-finals and/or get past Gent.
Spurs v Stoke - kick-off change 26 January 2017 - News - tottenhamhotspur.com
"Following Manchester United's aggregate victory against Hull City and subsequent progress to the EFL Cup Final, the kick-off time for our Premier League match at home to Stoke City on Sunday, February 26, has been pushed back 90 minutes to 1.30pm."
1:30 Sunday kick-off still not great, but an awful lot better than the joke that is 12:00 Sunday kick-offs.
