    Newcastle's request to switch their forthcoming Europa League ties has been rejected by UEFA and therefore the games will be played in the order they were drawn - and now confirmed as the following dates:

    Thu 23.08.2012 Atromitos (a) @ 8pm local time (6pm BST)

    Thu 30.08.2012 Atromitos (h) @ 8pm BST

    Home and away ticket details tbc.

    That means that United face the prospect of taking to the field at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League less than 48 hours after the final whistle in Athens.

    PS: No news yet of which ties will be selected, but live TV coverage of the Europa League is now provided by ITV and ESPN, with the former having first pick. Channel 5 have relinquished their rights to the competition.

    This will be the first season of ITV's new three season deal for the Europa League, with ITV4 designated as the main broadcasting channel up to the Quarter Finals.

    If it had been Chelski or Man Utd they would have probably changed it.
