Tottenham are due to play Villa on Cup Final weekend. If Spurs reach the final that match will almost certainly be put back to May 9 (or 8th).
.
Alternatively, if Bolton reach the final, the West Brom match will instead be delayed to 8/9 May.
If Everton reach the final their home match to Wolves will be delayed.
If Everton lose their replay at Sunderland then Wolves visit to Sunderland will not take place on semi-final weekend. Only if Everton beat Sunderland but lose to Liverpool will Wolves remaing fixtures be unaffected.
It is not usual for cup final teams to play in the midweek before the final.
I believe that the club should agree with Tottenham PDQ that the league match should take place on April 18 (or possibly 17). By doing so in the next 48 hours, neither club would be gaining an advantage, because neither would know which was to be involved in the semi-final. Bolton are fighting against relegation - Spurs are fighting for 3rd/4th spot and Champions' League football.
This would leave April 24/25 for the Villa v Bolton game (both clubs have fixtures on 21 & 28 April).
