Manchester City are in discussions with the Premier League over the scheduling of two fixtures that could impact the title race. The club seeks to organise their remaining games to ensure adequate recovery time between domestic and European commitments. City officials have raised concerns regarding the proximity of specific matches, according to Sky Sports. One primary issue involves a potential clash between a rearranged league fixture and the Champions League semi-final dates.
The Premier League has confirmed it is reviewing the request while considering the needs of broadcasters and other member clubs. Per the Guardian, the league typically attempts to avoid scheduling matches with less than 48 hours of rest between kick-offs. The outcome of these discussions will determine the final calendar for the Manchester club as they compete for multiple trophies. Pep Guardiola previously commented on the physical demands placed on his squad during the spring period. Any changes to the current schedule will require formal approval from the Premier League board and relevant television partners.
