Both matches between Watford and Luton Town have been switched to lunchtime kick-offs following discussions between the two clubs and their respective police forces. 

The Hornets will now entertain the Hatters at Vicarage Road on Sunday, October 23, at 12 noon. 

The reverse fixture at Kenilworth Road will be played on Saturday, April 1, kicking-off at 12.30pm.

It was originally stated this game would take place on Sunday, April 2 but have subsequently corrected this.

The club said: “Both Watford FC and Luton Town FC will treat the safety of supporters from both clubs as top priority when it comes to these two eagerly-anticipated matchdays. 

“Further collaborative announcements will follow in due course, nearer to the time of tickets going on sale for the first of the two fixtures.” 

Another date change means Watford will now host Hull City at Vicarage Road on Sunday, December 11 at 3pm. This is to avoid any potential clashes with the World Cup quarter-finals. 

The Boxing Day home game with Millwall at Vicarage Road will start at 12 noon. However, the pre-season game with The Lions due to be played on July 19 has now been cancelled, with Watford expected to arrange a replacement fixture. 

Sky Sports have not yet finalised all of their August UK live selections, so further amends are possible before August's fixture schedule is fully confirmed.
