ALBION are facing end-of-season fixture chaos in the Premier League.

They will finish with five matches in less than a month, four of them against top teams.

Some of them could be clustered closer together due to FA Cup and Champions League considerations.

The trip to Manchester City is already subject to rearrangement and the penultimate home game against Spurs could go the same way.

Albion were due to visit City on March 18 but will be in Manchester instead that weekend for their FA Cup quarter-final against United at Old Trafford.

The Argus revealed last week the rescheduled Etihad date cannot be before the week commencing April 16 because of City’s Champions League commitments.

A place in the quarter-finals is a formality for City after last week’s 4-0 win at Basel in the away leg in the last 16.

Tottenham are due at the Amex on April 21, the date of the FA Cup semi-finals.

That will also have to be rearranged if Albion beat United or Spurs negotiate next week’s fifth round replay against Rochdale at Wembley and a quarter-final away to Swansea or Sheffield Wednesday.

It could not be staged until the last week of the season, between matches for Albion against Manchester United and Liverpool, if Spurs reach the Champions League semi-finals.

The Seagulls head to Burnley on April 28, host Manchester United in their last game at the Amex on May 5 and visit Anfield to face Liverpool on the final day of the season on May 13.

The intense and challenging sequence of fixtures is launched by the derby against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on April 14.

Albion will be keen to collect enough points from the next five games, four of them at home, against Swansea, Arsenal, Everton away, Leicester and Huddersfield, to avoid leaving themselves too much to do in a congested and daunting climax.

Meanwhile, Connor Goldson insists Albion are not fearful of visiting Manchester United in the FA Cup.

The central defender, on target in Saturday’s fifth round win at home to Coventry, told The Argus: “We don’t have fear.

“Obviously there are big teams in the competition but we’re a good side and we are a good squad, I think that’s the main thing.

“Who ever comes in we have got a good squad, two teams plus more.

“The likes of Sam (Baldock) and Tomer (Hemed) on the bench were probably up there with the best strikers in the Championship last season and they are on the bench in a team that has been fully rotated.

“We have got a good squad and we won’t fear anyone.”
