Assuming Leicester beat Birmingham tonight, when do we think the new fixture date will be?

Just got a sneaky feeling the Blues will turn over Leicester tonight.

They're in good form, got some excellent youngsters coming through that are attracting the country's biggest clubs and playing on the counter will suit them. It should be the best match out of the three ties tonight.

Best for us would be 14th or 15th April.

We play at Norwich on 11th, and the game against Liverpool is not until 20th.

But then we also have Man City on the 25th. So it would all be pretty congested.

There was some talk that the Man City game may be moved depending on how they do in the CL. But the CL semi final first leg is on April 28 or 29 so why would that create a change for our game ?

With an International break straight after the Leicester game, it could be a 3 week gap between the Arsenal game and the Man Utd one. There won't be much space to fit it in, going to be congested no matter when it's rescheduled for. Even more so if the Man City game is moved for no reason what so ever as it doesn't has any effect on their Champions League match, even though news reports suggest it does (I can only think that UEFA don't want CL team playing at 5:30 on a Saturday if they are playing on Tuesday as well, as ridiculous as that sounds).

Could well be moved forward to 17th/18th March to avoid being played behind closed doors.

They should be made to fulfil the original date with their youth team or we are given 3 points. Its the only fair way...........for us.

On the 14th March Brighton are at home to Arsenal. Next game is then 4th April. That's a three week break. Surely our players will either be very rested or forget how to play.

We've got pretty bad form for results after long breaks haven't we? Certainly in the Premiership, but pretty sure we stuttered in the Championship too?
