We are surely fated to get either arsenał,West ham or Chelsea away from home.

and on other seasons I would worry we would be out of the FA Cup, this season we are a different team, though the 5th round will be on the Sunday after we return from Italy

id rather that than an important prem game tho to b fair

if we can progress to the semis our 2 arranged league fixtures are not that bad.

get past Florentina in the Europa the 1st leg falls the Thursday before the 6th round of the FA Cup or A.Villa (a), 2nd leg falls before our home match v Bournemouth.

get to the Quarters or Semi's of the Europa, and the fixtures don't fall that kind to the league fixtures

though do well in both and we would have problems squeezing in the rescheduled league matches

Would love to get Leeds at home really. I used to live there and I got no end of grief when we got beat a few years ago.

Would love to give then a good humiliating. Other than that it should give us a straightforward tie.

Looking at the fixture schedules I wouldnt be disappointed if we got Arsenal.

We play Fiorentina on Thursday, so the FA Cup game has to take place on Sunday. However Arsenal then have to play Barcelona the following Tuesday so that's just 2 days for them to recover for that game.
