With the Premier League rescheduling Manchester United's top-flight clash with Crystal Palace for just over a week's time, Erik ten Hag's men will now play four games in just 12 days
The match, which was postponed back in September following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, will now be played on January 18 - and gives supporters just 10 days to make arrangements for the important clash. The Premier League apologised for the late notice in confirming the fixture, but that, unfortunately, does little to help Ten Hag or the club's supporters.
Given that the Reds are still competing in every available cup competition - coupled with the unique nature of the postponed fixture in question - it was always going to be difficult to organise it for a date that suited United. However, with Ten Hag's side playing four times in less than two weeks, it is certainly going to be some challenge.
