The English Premier League takes center stage with an exciting Matchday 34 as the title race heats up. But some games have been postponed, including the match between Manchester United and Newcastle.

This fixture has been rescheduled due to the Red Devils’ participation in the FA Cup semifinals. On Sunday, Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry City at Wembley for a place in the tournament decider.

That’s the same reason the Manchester City and Chelsea league games have been postponed, with both sides set to face each other in the other FA Cup semifinal tie on Saturday.
