On the one hand would at least mean we can get out of the bottom 3 on Friday but

This is becoming a bit ridiculous. Dyche just said they have "10 recognised first team players available" apparently in hsi press conference which you would think means they can play with a couple of U23s in the mix as Leeds have been doing.

The premier league has made a complete mess of this by allowing AFCON and injuries to be taken intio account. I know we probably got the West Ham game called off on that basis (fat lot of good it did us) but doesn't make it right. The Arsenal postponement v Spurs was an utter joke and I feel Burnley are playing for time with their recent requests, hoping to get a new striker in an Cornet back from the Afcon.

A couple of Leicester's recent requests have been very dodgy too as they played a reasonably strong team in the Cup, won comfortably and then applied to have their next prem match postponed the day afterwards.
