With the FA Cup last eight consisting of seven top-flight clubs and a Championship side (Bournemouth), it’s one of several Premier League fixtures on that weekend to be rearranged, including Burnley v Leicester City, Liverpool v Chelsea and Manchester City v Wolves.

The postponement also means that we are currently only scheduled to play two league games in March – the Manchester derby and a home match against West Ham. International football takes up the last weekend of the month, while a number of midweek slots are earmarked for potential European fixtures.

When we do face Roy Hodgson’s side, the Reds will be eager to avenge September’s 3-1 defeat at Old Trafford, in what was our opening game of the campaign.
