What’s happened in recent seasons is that they’ve waited until after this draw so they can work around the CL QF but they do plan games for the weekends before the SF legs with alternative dates mapped out.They don't normally care though do they. How many times do teams (not just us) have games moved and then moved again because they are in a cup competition which the broadcasters know about anyway.
Last season we were scheduled by Sky to play Leeds at home on Sunday but it got moved to Saturday as we were playing in Madrid on the following Tuesday. But our game at Everton the following weekend stayed on Sunday because the Madrid home leg was on Wednesday. We knew in advance of that one or the other would definitely move to Saturday subject the dates of the CL SF.
