Manchester City pushing the Premier League to reschedule their games against Crystal Palace and Bournemouth
Manchester City are desperate to pip Arsenal to the Premier League title and are doing all they can to ensure their remaining fixtures favour them. The Gunners returned to the top of the table following a 1-0 win over Newcastle United at Emirates Stadium on Saturday in a huge boost for Mikel Arteta. However, Man City have a game in hand having played in the FA Cup semi-final on the same day. They take on Chelsea in the final of the competition on May 16 and are pushing the Premier League to reschedule their league games against Crystal Palace and Bournemouth, according to an insider on Twitter.
The anonymous Arsenal fan and commentator on football financial and business matters appears to be a credible source as he is followed by the likes of Kaveh Solhekol, Gary Jacob, Miguel Delaney and Jacob Steinberg. While it had been expected that Man City will now face Palace on May 13 at home before taking on Bournemouth on May 19 away, Pep Guardiola’s side are trying to swap them.
Manchester City is requesting the rescheduling to better align their fixtures as they compete for the Premier League title against Arsenal.
The matches are originally scheduled for May 13 against Crystal Palace and May 19 against Bournemouth.
