All games were suspended due to the tragic death of Piermario Morosini, so it is likely Week 33 fixtures will be moved to next weekend and the Week 34 matches played on Wednesday April 25.
As it is the same day as the Champions League quarter-finals, the UEFA rules impose kick-off is not simultaneous, so they’d have to be early games.
