From the EFL Twitter page

“As a mark of respect, EFL matches scheduled for 3pm on Saturday 17 April will be moved to avoid a clash with the funeral of HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.”

It's good that we have altered the kick-0ff time so that we can pay our respect for yet another great loss. At least there will be a distraction this time what with the funeral of Prince Philip later in the afternoon.
