Manchester United could be forced to play twice a week for the remainder of the season after progress in the FA Cup added another fixture to their already packed schedule.
Erik ten Hag's side qualified for the Wembley semi-finals with a 3-1 comeback win over Fulham at the weekend, keeping alive their hopes of a second domestic trophy this season.
United will now face Brighton at Wembley on April 23, meaning their Premier League home match against Chelsea originally scheduled for April 22 will need to be rearranged.

They will also need to find room for their rearranged Premier League away fixture against Brighton, which was postponed this past weekend due to both teams' involvement in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Ten Hag's side played 13 consecutive midweek games heading into the March international break and could potentially play two games a week for the rest of the season if they make it through their Europa League quarter-final tie against Sevilla.
United are also due to face West Ham in London on May 7 which marks Coronation Weekend for The King and The Queen Consort, and it is unclear whether there will be any disruption to the fixture schedule at this moment in time.
There has been no indication that the events will have an impact on matches, though there will undoubtedly be an increased demand for policing that weekend due to the large number of people expected in the capital.
As things stand, United could cope by playing two matches a week until the end of the season, though any further unforeseen postponements would likely require them to play three matches in a week to complete their schedule.
United have already played 46 matches this season and are guaranteed to play at least 15 more. If they reach the finals of the FA Cup and Europa League, they will end up having played 65 matches in total this campaign.
