West Ham's April meetings with title-chasers Leicester City and Arsenal have been moved at the behest of the TV companies.
The home clash with neighbours Arsenal - originally scheduled for 3pm on Saturday, 9 April has been brought forward to a lunchtime 12.45pm kick off.Meanwhile United's trip to City that was due to be played on Saturday, 18 April has been moved back to Sunday luchtime (17 April) with a 1.30pm start.
That potentially gives West Ham 24 hours less to prepare for the following weekend's FA Cup semi final - although the Hammers have Manchester United to overcome in the last eight (date STILL to be confirmed) yet.
* West Ham's opponents in the quarter finals of the FA Cup were this morning handed a draw from hell in the Europa League.
The Red Devils have been pitched against arch-rivals Liverpool in the competition's last 16 - the first leg of which will be played on Thursday, 10 March, just ahead of the FA Cup quarter final weekend.
