Man City games rearranged to leave exhausting stretch in Premier League and FA Cup title bids

MANCHESTER, England – Manchester City will face three matches in seven days and these matches will be crucial in its aim to win three domestic trophies.

City’s postponed match against Crystal Palace has been moved to May 13, the Premier League announced on Tuesday.

Pep Guardiola’s side will play the FA Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley Stadium three days later and then visit Bournemouth on May 19.

It will be a potentially grueling series of games at the end of the season for City, who have already won the English League Cup and are locked in the title race with Arsenal.

Arsenal are three points ahead but have played one more game.

The match against Palace was originally planned to be played on the weekend of last month’s League Cup final. The Bournemouth match was also postponed after City beat Southampton on Saturday to advance to the FA Cup final.
