Why the delay rearranging Brentford home fixture?

1. I suspect the club want to make full use of the "winter break" to get our injured players back to fuller fitness.Why the delay rearranging Brentford home fixture?
2. 5th round of the FA Cup is a midweek slot, so probably waiting to see if that becomes available after round 4.

was hoping it would be at weekend not midweek, I see Brentford got a draw this round.1. I suspect the club want to make full use of the "winter break" to get our injured players back to fuller fitness.

Seems a little off that City will have to play Brentford twice with Ivan Toney

I think the only chance of a weekend date would be 6th round or SF weekend if us and Brentford are out and Brighton or Spurs are still involved plus Brentford's opponents.was hoping it would be at weekend not midweek, I see Brentford got a draw this round.

OK hopefully midweek then, shame as Spurs away will most likely move midweek late on in run in aswellI think the only chance of a weekend date would be 6th round or SF weekend if us and Brentford are out and Brighton or Spurs are still involved plus Brentford's opponents.
The chances of playing either fixture before his permitted return on 17/01/24 were incredibly low so the odds on us playing them twice when he's available are almost a dead cert.What are the odds on that, eh?
I would add that we possibly would have wanted the fixture later given our recent injuries, surely a fully fit and available squad facing a team with Toney in it is favourable to a team without Doku, Haaland, De Bruyne and Stones facing one with him not in it?

Prediction for the home Derby date? Sky will want it, so not 12:30 saturday, that's the TNT Slot. Both Sky and TNT share the Saturday 17:30 slot so it could be then...
Both of us (or none) could have FA Cup round 5 on the previous Wednesday, and we definitely have Copenhagen at home in the second leg the following Wednesday. Smart money would be on 4:30pm on the Sunday March 3rd??

is that true, can Sky cherry pick first?
if it can't be the 12:30 sat that's great news as that's the worst
Sunday 4:30 would be good and quite likely too - if the coppers allow it
