Last games put back 24 hours

THE final English Premiership's games of the season have once again been moved back 24 hours to allow live television coverage.

The Premier League chief executive, Rick Parry, announced yesterday that the" precedent set two years ago would apply this season as well.

Games due to be played on Saturday, May 4th, will be splayed on Sunday, May 5th, with 4 p.m. kick offs. BSkyB will be able to show games live.

Last season the final day saw the title decided in the most, bizarre fashion, with Blackburn winning their first championship since 1914 despite losing at Liverpool because of Manchester United's failure to win at West Ham.

Parry said that the decision to move all the scheduled fixtures had been taken in the interest of fairness.
