However, Everton's game has now been moved to 4:30pm the same day, meaning Leeds will have played their penultimate and 37th game of the season before Everton have taken to the field for their 36th.

Everton have two fixtures still to play following the weekend of the 15th while Leeds have just one, against Brentford on the final day in West London.

This latest fixture amendment could see the Whites open up a gap on Everton in the bid to avoid relegation, if they manage to defeat Brighton, and claim points from their next two matches against Arsenal and Chelsea.

Frank Lampard's side will know their task prior to kick-off if they are still within touching distance of Leeds who currently sit two points and one place above the Toffees in the Premier League table.
