Up to FOUR of West Ham United's forthcoming fixtures could be subject to last-minute date changes.
The four matches that may be affected by late amendments are the away games at Brighton and Manchester United - currently scheduled for Saturday 26 April and Saturday 10 May respectively - plus the homes games against Tottenham (currently Saturday 3 May) and Nottingham Forest (Sunday 18 May).
With Brighton and Forest due to play each other in the FA Cup quarter finals - and the semi finals of the competition scheduled for the weekend of 26 April - a home win would result in the Brighton fixture being moved forward to the preceding Tuesday or Wednesday (22 and 23 April).
However should Forest progress and then earn passage to the Final - which is planned for Saturday 17 May - the meeting in Stratford would be similarly moved forward, with Tuesday 13 May or Wednesday 14 May likely dates for the rearranged Premier League clash.
With regards to the other two potentially-affected games, West Ham's short trip to north London will be rescheduled for Sunday 4 May if Tottenham should overcome Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League quarter finals.
And the trip to Old Trafford will be deferred by 72 hours if the Red Devils also reach the competition's last four, with a date of Sunday 11 May likely.
Supporters are advised to refrain from booking travel to any of the games until the final dates are confirmed.
