Fixtures Calendar - 2021/22

We play before the dippers for the Newcastle game.
They are down as the same time as us for the west ham game but one of us won't be playing as will be in fa cup final.
The dippers are at home to Spurs on Saturday night before we play Newcastle on the Sunday.
 
If we get to the FA Cup Final and West Ham get to the Europa cup final (big ifs I know) we’re gonna struggle to rearrange our match v them

there will only be 1 free midweek between now and the end of the season and we still need to slot wolves in somewhere

West Ham would have to be midweek of 10th/11th May with Wolves a week later. I reckon that will be confirmed should we win the FA Cup SF - they won’t wait until after the EL SF as that would mean pretty short notice.
If we don’t get to the FA Cup final, West Ham obviously stays on its scheduled weekend date. Wolves could then be on either of the available midweeks in May.

Well, I’m assuming we’d prefer to have that Wolves game re-arranged to Wed 18 May now, giving us a free midweek to get some much needed rest on 11th.

With Liverpool having games both midweeks now due to FA Cup Final, I won’t be surprised if Sky does put us in the later midweek to not have us having played a game more (and pts on board) in the title race … but on the other hand they might want us to play back to back mid week games before and after the CL semi midweeks so who knows ;)

Yes, your latter point is why I think we would prefer the game in that last midweek on or around 18th. We shall see…

In that case Wolves would play us on 18 May and go to Anfield 22 May.

So really in Sky's hands who to give that slight advantage to at this stage ... and only slightest of advantages in scheduling could affect the season as we saw this Saturday ... Us with a tough away in CL QF vs them in a home easy draw meant they're in the FA Cup final and we aren't ... no other reason. Had they had to rest key players or injuries from midweek while we played a second string earlier and had everyone fresh for the semi would surely have meant the totally opposite result.
 
I think we will play on the 11th, Europa Cup final the 18th which we shouldn't clash with if at all possible. Can't play 17th as we play the 15th.
