Albion will face Aston Villa on a Sunday – between two big European dates for their opponents.
The Premier League clash at the Amex will be pushed back a day to Sunday, May 5 (2pm).
That switch is due to Villa’s progress in the Conference League.
They lost 2-1 at Lille in the second leg of their quarter-final but came through in a shoot-out.
Villa will play the first leg of their semi-final on May 2 and the return on May 9.
Albion will hope that is a good time to play a team against whom they have a poor record.
The Seagulls’ home date against Manchester City has been confirmed for next Thursday (8pm) after Pep Guardiola’s side went out of the Europa League.
Meanwhile two sides beaten 1-0 at the Amex will be in the draw for the Europa League semi-finals.
Marseille and Roma both progressed last night and join Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen in the last four.
