Rule breakers.
The FA Cup sixth-round reply between West Ham United and Manchester United is set to take place on April 13 at Upton Park, with kick-off at 7pm.
The pair played out a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on March 13, but with the international break, the Football Association were left scrambling for a date to play the reply.
They’ve settled on Wednesday April 13, but could be on a collision course with Uefa, as Champions League ties are due to take place on the same night.
Uefa rules state that domestic games played on the same night as European matches must end 30 minutes before the European ties kick-off.
Benfica are set to host Bayern Munich, and Atlético Madrid will play Barcelona in the second-leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
Fixture congestion means United and West Ham can’t find another feasible date to play the replay, with the winners due to face Everton on April 23 at Wembley.
Uefa could fine both clubs, or withhold money, while the FA could also be fined.
