So phone BA and ask to change flights. Have your credit card ready !!!
To me very low chance a confirmed seat in J will be offloaded on the day
Flights departing Saturday 4 Jan & Sunday 5 Jan will be as busy, or more so

Overbooked - More passengers have booked on the flight than there are seats
Oversold - More passengers have turned up for the flight than there are seats

Overbooking occurs with the expectation that a certain percentage of passengers will not turn up/cancel. Overselling occurs when the airline has miscalculated the number of no shows/cancellations’
At this time of year I would expect most people to travel as booked
