Has anyone heard anything re the rearrangement of Manchester City v Crystal Palace (from League Cup final weekend)? I think this is the only outstanding match to be sorted for the rest of the season (bar usual TV tweaks in the last weeks).

Manchester City website has it as 'TBC' but positioned in the list for the midweek around April 28th/29th (2 weeks time) - is that possible/likely? Is there a time they have to announce it by so fans can get tickets (if fans still count these days)?

I think if/when Palace qualify for Euro Vase semis they'll make a call on either 13th or 20th May. Probably the latter if City are in the fa cup final.

Ta, forgot about Palace and the Eurodisney.

Four PL matches handed new dates during first two weekends in May due to Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest's continued involvement in UEFA competitions:

From @cityreport: the Premier League have rejected Manchester City’s request to switch around the Crystal Palace and Bournemouth fixtures.

So, Manchester City will play Crystal Palace at home on Wed 13 May before the FA Cup Final vs Chelsea at 3pm on Sat 16 May and then Bournemouth away on Tues 19 May.

Chelsea v Spurs, originally set for Cup Final weekend, also awaits a new date.
