Thanks, international break! April Fool's day was probably the only time they could get this one to fit in thanks to FIFA and UEFA rules, but it's going to make the schedule very, very tight, especially if Chelsea do make it past Steaua Bucharest in the Europa League, at which point they'd be playing on a Saturday, then Monday, then Thursday, then Saturday. Manchester United are out of Europe, of course, but they're going to be on short rest for this one as well -- they travel to the Stadium of Light to face Sunderland on the 30th.
Blame David de Gea.
