Which is good for us considering CWC final in Abu Dhabi is on February 12th. Yup. Feb 22 it is. Abu Dhabi is 4h time difference to London, so still a bitch but manageable. If everything works out fine and no postponed games with covid, we will have a full week to prepare for Crystal palace which is almost a homegame on the 19th. also there is a blank in the schedule just before the cwc between 23rd Jan and 9th Feb so i guess there will be a fa cup or league cup weekend in between?

That is two and a half weeks actually because now teams have break in winter. Just before CWC on weekend 5th-6th February we will have 4th round FA Cup tho. Which is good thing to get momentum after the break. Play half first team players there and other half in semi final CWC so they are ready for final where we should go full strength. We already have 2 PL games postponed because of CWC. If we get to the Carabao Cup final game against Leicester will also be postponed. And QF, semi final and final of FA Cup are also on the dates when we have PL games. So if we go all the way in all comps it will be very tricky to find free dates for postponed PL games.

NikkiCFC 8,319 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Winner of Ajax:Benfica in QF please 😆 And if Juventus:Villarreal and United:Atletico pair together and we draw them we can have walk in the park all the way through final. Even easier than last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

''1. A compelling reason Unvaccinated people will be required to have a compelling reason to travel to or from the UK' Whatever that is.Then comes the negative test etc. A month to go though so anything can change and potential for exceptions made and all.

Pizy 18,907 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 If Reece is back fit and we can actually have fans in the ground I’ll be confident. City and Liverpool should comfortably sail through to the semi’s. Was really hoping they’d draw one another and Real Madrid would draw Bayern to make our road back to the final much easier.
