Coronation Street is pulled from tonight as Craig’s memorial takes place this week 

Instead ITV viewers can watch England take on Senegal in an International friendly football match at the City Ground.

Mark Pougatch presents coverage from Nottingham, alongside Roy Keane and Ian Wright.

The match with a kick-off time of 7:45pm forcing both Emmerdale and Corrie off the screens.

However, both soaps will be back on our screens tomorrow (Wednesday) in their usual time slots with Emmerdale on at 7:30pm and Corrie on at 8pm.

This week on the Dales, Cain is a prime suspect for his son’s Nate’s murder.

Widowed Tracy is convinced of her father-in-law’s guilt, especially once the finger of suspicion starts pointing her way.

When her late husband’s phone is found in her house, she defiantly protests her innocence and believes Cain is covering his tracks.

Jumpy John watches from the sidelines.

Should he admit to the accidental killing?

Or say nothing and let this twisty plot get more convoluted?

Meanwhile, on BBC One, EastEnders will air as usual at 7:30pm tonight, or you can stream it from 6am on BBC iPlayer.
