Some massive games in there and for Arsenal fans that will watch the game on TV, it is fantastic. But you will need at least three TV services to watch all the games and that is not cheap.
My understanding of the changes is the introduction of Amazon prime into the market. This apparently created an added complication when scheduling.
This is modern football where TV takes priority and in all fairness, they do pay the big bucks. Still annoying though.
