Consequently, Brighton have also seen their south coast derby against Southampton moved to 2pm on Sunday, but this will not be broadcast by Sky or BT.

The Premier League cited “difficulties obtaining relevant local stakeholder approvals” as the reason behind the delayed announcement.

Their statement read: “The Premier League understands the importance of these announcements to supporters and apologises for the delay.

“Finalising these selections took longer than expected due to difficulties obtaining relevant local stakeholder approvals.”
