Don't think it's rugby related this season. Guessing it's been moved for TV?

I can’t find any reason to change the fixture for TV as Sheffield Utd v Hull is sure to get the viewers.

Hmmm, your correct. I was led to believe all midweek EFL games were live (I assumed Sky Sports +)

Perhaps that only applies to games scheduled for midweek, rather than games moved from Saturday for non-TV reasons? I have no idea.

I'm told it's because Rugby Union side Newport Gwent Dragons are playing at home (presumably at Rodney Parade) on the Saturday evening. So, similar to what Jimmy sent earlier, it is related to rugby!
