Unless we get drawn to play the scousers in the 1/4 Final
dont be silly in that case we all know who will get more rest and favourable fixtures on both weekends before and after and on the third weekend as well after the second leg.

Simply because it would mess up the audience figures. Most of the bigger matches involve at least one club still in European football. If you had City, Liverpool, and Chelsea all playing at the same time it would be disastrous for viewing figures.
Football is basically run by the TV companies. They dictate the schedules.

Not any more than January or February where we played 9 and 8 games respectively. If we win the FA Cup QF, we'd have 7 games in April, 8 if we win the CL QF as well then first leg of SF is at the end of April as well so that'll take it to 8, but then we have already played 9, 8 and 6 games in Jan-Feb-Mar ... only 6 in March as that's only 20 days of March, last ten are part of the International Break so some players would play 2-3 games in that as well.
Edit. Will update the calendar after the CL draw on Friday and when those two QF ties are decided and along with it our first PL fixture of April.

Anything can happen in a one off game, like two week ago.
Well as things stand, this is where we are ...
Changes to this coming based on Friday - CL Draw
Sat - FA Cup QF
Sun - FA Cup SF Draw (If we win on Sat)
The CL QF will be Tue/Wed or Wed/Tue and depending on that Leicester game could move from Sat to Sun.
So next update of the calendar after the Friday CL Draws ... and then another one after FA Cup game (and it's Draw).
OK here's the update after the CL draw and confirmed CL QF dates ... before you jump on me putting Bayern/PSG dates already ... that's just to see where CL SFs could be and what games are before/after those ties - obviously if we get past Dortmund first.
Guess our Leicester game won't move from Sat 5:30pm now. Arsenal v Liverpool was on Sun 4th at 4:30pm I guess they'll swap with Sat 8pm Villa v Fulham slot as that's on Sky too. There was a plan to swap with our tie if we had the Wed QF and they got Tue but since both get Tue QF, that's where they'd logically go to now and our Leicester game remians.
Edit: I know jumping ahead but that CL SF worries me as that could be Tue 27th or Wed 28th ... I have put Wed 28th but CL won't care if we have the Carabao Cup Final on Sun 25th. And I guess that is final as well and not able to move to Sat 24th just in case ...
