Where has this been confirmed? Last I saw, the club were saying this:
I'm not sure pal, I'm only going on what the BBC website is saying at the moment.
If it is true that we play Sunday at 4:30pm & the again on the Tuesday, we'll have to rest 4-5 in that Brighton game and stick them on the bench in case we need them. Going into that City game with players used for rotation just kills it completely.
If we do have to play those games (a lot is up in the air with Brighton in the FA Cup etc), we'll have to play Lucas, Lamela, Wanyama possibly, Llorente perhaps. All being said I think it's best that Brighton win in the FA Cup this weekend and we have Crystal Palace as our first game at the new stadium, which will give us 6 days between matches instead of just 1 full day.
Wise to want Brighton to win this weekend it seems.
