It's a date

West Ham United's Premier League clash with Everton has been moved back a day due to Everton's involvement in the Europa League.

United has originally been scheduled to face the Toffees at the Boleyn Ground on Saturday, 7th November. However as Everton have a Europa League tie on the preceeding Thursday the clash with West Ham has been postponed by 24 hours and now kicks off at 3:00pm on Sunday 8th.

It is a similar story where the Hammers' planned October clash with Fulham is concerned; the game, originally scheduled for Saturday 3rd October has also been moved back by 24 hours and now kicks off at 3:00pm on Sunday 4th.

The date changes mean that West Ham United's first home fixture at football's traditional 3:00pm Saturday slot doesn't arrive until 28th November, when Gianfranco Zola's side host the newly-promoted Burnley.
