"Manchester City will have to win the Premier League title the hard way after their games against Crystal Palace and Bournemouth were scheduled for either side of the FA Cup final."
"City wanted different scheduling, as they were eager to face Bournemouth on May 12 and Palace on May 19, which would have given them more time to prepare for the FA Cup final."
"Arsenal have also had one fixture moved, their final home game of the season against relegated Burnley, which was originally scheduled for Sunday, May 17 but has been put back to the following day."
Manchester City is three points behind Arsenal in the Premier League title race, with a demanding schedule of six games in 21 days. They have already won the EFL Cup and aim for a domestic treble. Their FA Cup final against Chelsea is set for May 16. City expressed dissatisfaction with the fixture scheduling, preferring different dates for their matches against Bournemouth and Crystal Palace.
