Worth noting that one of these games will be cancelled so the semi winners can play Bratford, which one depends on tonight's result.

Newcastle v Sunderland on Saturday April 13th would also have to be moved if Newcastle reach EL Quarter Finals. Both teams are out of FA cup so can be played on Sunday. Whether it stays on sky probably depends on Stoke v Man United being moved due to cup. Police would probably insist on an early kick off.

What odds can we get on the draw????

[Judio]

Ok back on topic

No surprises at all Everton could not play Sunday and Chelsea may not be able to play on Saturday
and Man City could not play same day as Man U .

In fact the only surprise is ESPN picked Man City as the second choice after Man U ???

SO

Saturday 9 March 2013

Oldham Athletic or Everton v Wigan Athletic (12.45pm) – Live on ITV.

Manchester City v Barnsley (5.30pm) – Live on ESPN.

Sunday 10 March 2013

Millwall v Blackburn Rovers (2pm) – Live on ESPN.

Manchester United v Middlesbrough or Chelsea (4.30pm) – Live on ITV.

[snout]

Is there a good chance City v Wigan (orig. 9 Mar) will be on pushed back a few days to Tues 12 or Wed 13 March?
