The EFL has modified the semi-final schedule for the Championship playoffs. Monday, May 13 at 8 p.m. was scheduled to kick off the first leg between the teams that place fifth and fourth, respectively. The game has now been rescheduled for Sunday, May 12, with a 2:15 pm kickoff. This move, it has been said, was taken to prevent Midlands rivals Aston Villa and West Brom Albion from having home games on the same evening.
West Brom currently occupy fifth place in the Championship while Aston Villa are scheduled to host Liverpool on Monday, May 13.
The playoff semi-final between the teams who finish sixth and third will also take place on Sunday, May 12. Kick-off is at 12:30.
Southampton are currently in fourth, while Ipswich Town sit third and Norwich City are in sixth.
