The Premier League is giving supporters as much notice as possible by announcing this potential fixture date ahead of the FA Cup fourth-round weekend.
The Premier League also acknowledges the unique circumstances of the teams playing each other twice in the same week, with Leeds United v Manchester United scheduled for Sunday, February 12. This is to avoid potential fixture congestion later in the season.
Should either side require an FA Cup fourth-round replay, the Premier League will look at alternative dates to place this fixture.
