First leg can be played on either Tuesday or Wednesday (although we won't want it on Wed given early kick-off on Saturday), but the second leg can only be on Wednesday (for us).

Before and after games around both legs of SF for both teams below:

That's a nasty 5 games after Exeter and will likely define our PL challenge.

The League Cup does not get anywhere near the same away allocation as the FA Cup. The rules for PL away matches applies to the League Cup.

That's not right actually. It's 10% and the Geurdies have permission to offer slightly less.

Given we are playing on Sunday 1st Feb you can pretty much be sure the 2nd leg will be Weds 4th Feb.

As both teams are playing Sat 3pm in the FA Cup on Sat 10th Jan - and City are in the Saturday 12.30 slot in the Derby on Jan 17th - I'd also wager we will push strongly for Tues 13th for the 1st leg.

In which case SS3 only for them at our place - SS1 and SS2 should be all City. Stick them in the rafters like they do to us.

Hopefully City price the 2nd leg correctly and we have a full house to roar the lads on

Really? Is that when the 4th round is? I thought it always used to be late Jan, so assumed that's why that date was blank. Good spot.

Looks like we've actually got Wolves at home on Jan 24th now.

It’s very difficult to get an atmosphere going when the away fans have the whole top tier because they are under the roof and the stadium acoustics mean they dominate the noise.

It will be a full house though.

FA Cup is 15% of capacity and League Cup is 10% of capacity. All subject to police approval.
 
For the away game, it says it's on ITV.
Is that normal channel 3 or something else?
I'm away with work that night so need to plan where to watch the match
