The Premier League has confirmed new dates for two Manchester City fixtures, resulting in a congested schedule for the defending champions. Manchester City travel to face Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday, 14 May, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 BST. This match was previously postponed due to the participation of the Manchester club in the FA Cup semi-finals.
A trip to Brighton and Hove Albion is now scheduled for Thursday, 25 April. The rescheduling means Manchester City play four times between 11 May and 19 May, including their final day fixture against West Ham United. Per the Premier League, these changes ensure all matches are completed before the season concludes.
Manchester City currently sit behind Arsenal in the table but hold matches in hand over their rivals. According to Sky Sports, the scheduling creates a demanding period for the squad during the final weeks of the campaign. Manager Pep Guardiola must now manage player fitness across these frequent outings as the club pursues a fourth consecutive league title.
