The Premier League has confirmed the dates for the latest round of fixture amendments.
The fixture amendments have implications for Fantasy Premier League, creating a Double Gameweek which will see Arsenal, Manchester City, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace play twice in GW33.
Reigning Premier League champions City, whose game against Aston Villa on April 28th was postponed due to both clubs participating in the FA Cup quarter-finals, will now be played on Tuesday, April 22.

Crystal Palace’s 3-0 away victory over Fulham in the FA Cup quarter-final last Saturday means that their trip to the Emirates to face Arsenal has now been moved to Wednesday, April 23.
Nottingham Forest will host Brentford on May 1 instead of the weekend of April 26/27 — when the FA Cup semi-finals will take place — which means that Manchester United’s trip to the Gtech Community Stadium to face Brentford has been pushed back from May 3 to May 4.
Elsewhere, the league has confirmed the UK broadcast picks for the round of matches in gameweek 36.
Chelsea are scheduled to travel to Newcastle United on Saturday, May 10 at 12.30pm BST but that game will be moved to 12pm the following day if Chelsea progress in the Conference League and have a fixture the preceding Thursday. Bournemouth will face Aston Villa on the Saturday at 5.30pm BST, Forest will face Leicester City on Sunday, May 11 at 2.15pm BST and title-chasing Liverpool will face their closest challengers, Arsenal, at Anfield later that day at 4.30pm BST.
