it would mean getting permission to play the 4th round of the Caraboa Cup later which isn't easy with international breaks and CL fixtures, and the next round. we might be okay playing a weakened squad 2 days later, but City might not want too
There’s no absolute guarantee we will be in 4th round. If we draw a PL team away in the 3rd could easily go out with no extra time and straight to pens. But I think they’d do,Monday/ weds / Saturday and we’d just have to suck it up. Do it over Xmas so it can be done. I think city would go for it rather than be a game behind and have to wait till February.
