EFL clubs have requested that their kick-off times be changed this weekend in order to enable fans to get home in time for England's World Cup quarter final fixture against France.
The match between the Three Lions and the reigning world champions kicks off at 7pm, just two hours after the conclusion of the day's 3pm kick-offs. As a result, Sky Sports News report that a number of EFL clubs have requested their kick-off times be brought forward.
This would enable both home and away fans to make it home in order to watch Gareth Southgate's men in their first ever World Cup knockout tie against their old rival. This also happens to coincide with the return of Championship football as all 24 clubs return to action following four weeks without games for the start of the World Cup.
