Why was theBrighton vsManchester City match postponed?
The Brighton vsManchester City clashat the American Express Community Stadiumin the Premier League was postponed because of both teams’appearancein theFA CupSemi-Finals. Pep Guardiola’s side will come againstSheffield United on Saturday,April 22, while their city arch-rivals will come against Brighton in a game that will take place the next day. Wembley Stadium in Londonwill host both ties.
There has been no announcement from the Premier League on when the Sky Blues will play theirgame against Roberto De Zerbi’s players. With City’s success in the Champions League, confirming a new date to play this match may be difficult.
After advancing to the UEFA Champions League Semi-Finals on May 9 and May 16, City’s only remaining week to face Brighton is the week beginning May 22.Considering that the last day of the Premier League season is on Sunday, May 28, it seems likely that theBrighton vsManchester City matchup will take place on Wednesday, May 24.
