Man City, Premier League Discuss Fixture Changes Ahead of FA Cup

Manchester City is currently in talks with the Premier League regarding potential changes to their fixture schedule due to their participation in the FA Cup final. The discussions are focused on two key matches: an away game against AFC Bournemouth originally scheduled for May 17 and a home fixture against Crystal Palace, which was postponed in March and does not yet have a confirmed date.

One option being considered is to have Crystal Palace visit the Etihad Stadium on May 13, followed by the trip to Bournemouth on May 19. This adjustment would allow the squad an extra day of recovery before the FA Cup final.

However, scheduling constraints linked to UEFA competitions mean that certain dates remain unavailable, limiting flexibility in the final calendar. The title race is closely monitored, especially with Arsenal remaining competitive in the Premier League title battle, and the rest period between fixtures could prove crucial as the season approaches its conclusion.
