The Baggies will now host the Swans at The Hawthorns on Sunday, December 8 at midday.
A number of West Bromwich Albion fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the news that their Championship fixture between the Baggies and Swansea City has been rescheduled due to television coverage.
Slaven Bilic’s West Brom charges had been due to lock horns with Steve Cooper’s Swans – both flying high in the league table at present – at The Hawthorns on Saturday, December 7 at 3pm.
However, the fixture has now been announced as one of Sky Sports’ picks for live broadcast and will now take place on Sunday, December 8, with a 12pm kickoff, confirmation of which has not gone down well amongst some West Brom supporters.
Here is some of the reaction on social media to the fixture being moved back:
West Brom are currently top of the Championship table on six wins, four draws and just one defeat, putting them level on points with Nottingham Forest, and are away at Middlesbrough in their upcoming fixture this Saturday.
Swansea, meanwhile, briefly sat at the summit this term but experienced a downturn in form before the international break, with just one win in their last five league games, which saw them slip to fourth in the table, and up next for them is Saturday’s trip to Barnsley.
