[BREAKING] Premier League Rejects Man City Fixture SwapMANCHESTER — Manchester City’s hopes for a more manageable title run-in have been dashed after the Premier League officially rejected their request to swap the order of their upcoming games against Crystal Palace and Bournemouth.
City had hoped to move their trip to the Vitality Stadium to an earlier date to avoid a cluster of three games in seven days, including the FA Cup Final against Chelsea on May 16. However, the league cited “scheduling integrity” and significant opposition from rival clubs—including Arsenal—as reasons for keeping the original order.
City’s “Week of Hell” Schedule:
- May 13: Crystal Palace (Home)
- May 16: FA Cup Final vs. Chelsea (Wembley)
- May 19: Bournemouth (Away)
