Derby Date Weds 24th April 8pm - confirmed

The only dates available for any re-arranged fixtures between now and then end of the season if you take out all Champions League dates and the stupid March International Break are:

Tue 2nd / Wed 3rd April
Tue 23rd / Wed 24th April

And that's it ... and if we win the FA Cup QF as well, then the SF is on the Cardiff home game weekend (6/7 Apr) so that'd need rescheduling ...

Most logical would be the derby being rescheduled to 2/3 April and Cardiff game rescheduled to 23/24 April ...

In a nutshell, this.
2/3 April for me.

Think that is spot on @mag. Pretty sure PL rules changed a few years ago so that a rescheduled game must be the first available date that both clubs can accommodate with confirmation being made as soon as possible once it is known that the original date was no longer viable. Avoids either club trying to pick dates that might suit them better & a backlog of fixtures building up. Getting rid of FA Cup replay midweeks from R5 onwards will help with picking available dates.
 
Just thinking, I want this game out of the way as early as possible.

Not only to stop a bunch up of big games if we manage to get through to the latter stages of the cup comps as well as mount out title challenge.

But also because if we are in for multiple trophies, like a treble for example, United are going to want to stamp that out big time later in the season and won’t want us matching their past achievements and would be doubly up for beating us.

Let’s get it out of the way as soon as possible!
 
Could be playing them two games in a row if we beat Swansea.

League game most likely to be rearranged for 2nd/3rd April.

FA Cup Semi-finals take place on 6th April.
