#PLStories- Crystal Palace manager #RoyHodgson says rearranged fixture against Manchester United is unfair #CPFC

Roy Hodgson says that Crystal Palace have been “threatened” with a rearranged fixture against Manchester United that would see them playing three games in a week. The fixture against Manchester United was originally pencilled in for the weekend of March 20th, the final fixture before the international break.

Roy Hodgson said: “Well perhaps not. Because we’re being threatened with a game in between Fulham and Tottenham against Manchester United. I don’t know whether that’s been ratified as yet, but it’s been mooted as a possibility, which would give us three games in a week and four games in under two weeks from Monday night’s game against Brighton.”

The need to rearrange the fixture is due to Manchester United’s FA Cup quarter-final tie against Leicester City, which is due to take place on March 21st. With United also competing in the Europa League – and likely to make it to the round of 16 following their 4-0 away victory against Real Sociedad, it means finding a gap in the fixture list is currently difficult.
