If the Chelsea game is moved, and that won't be known until after the second leg on 24 Jan, then if you assume that Chelsea get past Malmo in the next round of the Europoe League in February, the first available midweek is week beginning 1 April, hence why no alternative date can possibly be...
I guess the Fulham would be moved if we have to play our FA Cup game on the Sunday before, in which case the game will go ahead on the Wednesday. I guess we'll know more once the draw has taken place tonight and BBC/BT/International TV have decided on the games they want to televise

Away fans at the Emirates Stadium are housed in the lower tier of the South East corner. The normal allocation for away fans is just under 3,000 tickets
