When do Man City play Crystal Palace and Bournemouth? Date, time of games as Premier League title race schedule confirmed originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
This season's Premier League title race looks likely to go to the wire.
Regardless of Manchester City's win over Arsenal on April 19, it looks probable that both teams will still be in the hunt for the trophy as we head into May.
City's 1-0 win at Burnley ensured they went top of the standings on goal difference. But when Arsenal responded with a victory by the same margin over Newcastle United to edge ahead once more, City did not know when two of their remaining games would take place.
That was because they beat Southampton in the FA Cup semifinals to reach the final against Chelsea on Saturday, May 16. It meant the match between Bournemouth and Pep Guardiola's side scheduled for that weekend would need to be moved.
Additionally, there was still no confirmed date for City's home game against Crystal Palace. Initially due for the penultimate weekend of March, the game was postponed because of the Carabao Cup final between City and Arsenal.
Those dates are now set and both games could yet have a big impact on the title battle.
The Sporting News looks at the latest on when the games will be played.
EPL TITLE RACE:
- Arsenal's schedule and results for April and May
- Man City fixture schedule as they chase down the Gunners
When is Man City vs. Crystal Palace?
The game between City and Palace has been rescheduled for Wednesday, May 13 at 8 p.m. BST (3 p.m. ET).
The match was initially moved because of the Carabao Cup final on March 22, and it has been difficult to find a convenient day due to City being in the latter rounds of the FA Cup and Palace competing in the UEFA Conference League.
When is Bournemouth vs. Man City?
The game between City and Bournemouth has been rescheduled for Tuesday, May 19 at 7:30 p.m. BST (2:30 p.m. ET).
The match was due to take place on Sunday, May 17 but had to move from that weekend once City reached the May 16 FA Cup final.
The placements of the Palace and Bournemouth games either side of the FA Cup final mean City will play three matches in seven days ahead of the Premier League finale.
Bournemouth vs City was not scheduled on Wednesday, May 20, due to UEFA's preference for no domestic league clashes with its Europa League final, which will have English interest in the form of either Aston Villa or Nottingham Forest.
