The draw only took place on Tuesday - would imagine there is quite a lot to sort out for the two fixtures with the added complication of BT live coverage - so in reality two fixtures and a Tv viewing to arrange with consultation of all parties taking place mixed in with policing, security, stewarding and other match service providers to arrange.
I suspect the club may wish to play the Chesterfield match on the scheduled Saturday in it's already allocated Tv slot and play the Cup match on the Sunday - the alternative will be to displace the league match to a Tuesday night - the cup match will take priority and must be played that particular weekend.
Perhaps an announcement later today or tomorrow.
