There MAY be a free date for Leicester v Chelsea on Sat March 7th

BUT Leicester would have to be knocked out of the Cup

AND Chelsea would have to give up their free weekend just before a Champions League tie

AND We assume it will still be on Sky ???

Bit early but...

Any guesses as to when 5th Round replays would be played?

Liverpool, for example (if they get there etc), have a Europa League game in the first 2 midweeks after the tie (would normally be in the second one, i.e. about 10 days after original tie) and then a league game in the 3rd midweek so it can't be played before QF weekend (7-8 March). Presume same applies to all teams in Europe.

If that happened then the actual 6th round games would have to wait a while as there are more European games for 2 weeks, meaning the 6th round game would be on about 25th March. With any potential replay being ......

Only Liverpool are (potentially) affected as the last 32 and last 16 rounds of the Europa League are staged over four Thursdays in Feb-March.

Of the six English clubs still in Europe, four have been eliminated from the FA Cup [Chelsea, Man C, Spurs, Everton].

The other, Arsenal, may have midweek options as the two Champions League last 16 ties are staged over four midweek slots.

Note, however, that UEFA guidelines state that Premier League, FA Cup and Capital One Cup games must not clash with match dates in the Champions League and Europa League.

The FA has been fined for not complying with the rule in recent seasons because of domestic fixture congestion.

After the elimination of Leicester today from the FA Cup, both teams are now free on the weekend of the 7th/8th March. No date set for the fixture yet though.


Also, the next (& final?) TV schedule announcements. Will they be soon?

It won't be final it will be the 4 April weekends
They will wait to see if Man U win tonight and see the draw for Cup
Then they will wait and leave us for another week !!
So not until mid of next week ?

Leicester may be free but Jose will like having weekend off before PSG game so may say no to the 7th ???

Rearranged games for League Cup Final and FA Cup Semis

Because of the late finish to the season there are still 3 available dates which fit in with the UEFA restrictions

Weds April 8th (Wont be popular if someone is picked by Sky on Easter Monday)

Weds April 29th

Weds May 20th

Chelsea will have a maximum of 2 games to rearrange so may feel they dont need to rush
and play Leicester on the 7th March

I believe there's a 10-for-6 for Liverpool over Chelsea beginning Sunday. Even as a Liverpool fan, can't say I'll be lumping on that one!

Assuming that's right, (I haven't a clue), then presumably if Liverpool draw with Blackburn, it becomes an 11-for-6. Does that swing it for you? :wink:

Very strange Table today

28 Games played which means 10 left

Makes sense to see 5 Home and 5 away

BUT

Liverpool Spurs West Ham and Southampton (and QPR after the game in hand) only have 4 at home !!!!

It's been like that ever since November (at every even-numbered game anyway) - due to how they arranged the fixture blocks this year

When we get to game 32 there will be 6 left, and (ignoring the Lei-Che game which will still be outstanding) EVERY team will have either 2 or 4 home games (nobody has got 3 home and 3 away in the last 6)

Does that mean if tonight's game is a draw it will be one of those two dates?

Correct

But it will be interesting to see the reaction if Bradford get ignored for their replay !!!!

Only 2 games can be chosen I think

Well, they are playing a mediocre Championship team, it's not exactly a ratings winner, especially as the first game was goalless as well!

No Monday night football April 20th Villa v QPR cancelled

Chelsea v Man U goes ahead at 1730 on FA Cup Semi Saturday

Do you think Sky will still televise the Villa match when it is rearranged ??

TV double

Post by SamD »

if last season's FA Cup times are repeated there will be an overlap of live TV games between a Wembley semi-final and Chelsea-Man Utd (5:30pm Sky on Sat 18 April).

In 2014:
  • Wigan Athletic v Arsenal started at 5pm, Saturday 12 April (ITV)
    Hull City v Sheffield United began at 4pm, Sunday 13 April (BT)
