I'd give it a bit of time before booking anywhere because we don't know if the game will even be on that weekend yet. It is probably more likely it will be but there's a chance it won't be.

Someone at work was saying that this might be on a Wednesday. Something to do with Chelsea's Europa League commitments. I didn't really understand what he was on about as it was too early.
If Chelsea beat Bucharest they go through to the next round of the EL which leaves no date for them to play their replay with United before the semi-final weekend so they might play their replay with United on that weekend with the semi final against us being moved to the midweek.
What also might happen is PL fixtures to be rearranged on an upcoming weekend so they could play their replay with United to fit in with keeping the semi-final on the 13th/14th; but they didn't move their PL fixture in the Fourth Round and made them play their replay with Brentford on the weekend of the Fifth Round and they played their Fifth Round game in the midweek away at Boro.
So it's all just guess work at the moment. We'll have to wait until Thursday at least before the FA tell us what's what.
