Interesting - don't remember the 2 semis being a month a part last time:

"Played over two legs across the week commencing 6 January and the week commencing 3 February"

Luckily our fixtures seem to be "kinder" to us with Spurs (A) on the 4th Jan and Bromley (H) on the 12th so could stay down in London for the first leg and go full tilt with Bromley up next (and the second XI should be enough for that). Fulham (H) 1st Feb and then City (A) 15th Feb means we should have a week to prepare for the home game with no travel as well.

Arsenal have us between Brighton (A) and Man U (H - FAC) in January and shortly after Man City (H) in February before they go to Leicester 2 weeks later.

I guess it's because the Champions League games start up again in Jan, Arsenal are playing on 22nd and 29th Jan

So an extra couple of fixtures for them too
