Man City facing nightmare fixture pile-up despite Champions League exitManchester City could face a hectic schedule with nine games in five weeks as FA Cup progress threatens to cause Premier League fixture rescheduling chaosView 2 Images Man City could face a problematic fixture backlog (Image: ADAM VAUGHAN/EPA/Shutterstock)Manchester City may be out of Europe, but the Blues could still face a mounting fixture pile-up in the weeks ahead. ‌The Blues triumphed in the Carabao Cup at Wembley and now face an FA Cup quarter-final showdown with Liverpool at the Etihad on Saturday. Should Palace advance into the last four, the already limited options for fitting in the City fixture would be trimmed even further. ‌The Premier League confirmed this week that any fixtures requiring rescheduling on FA Cup semi-final day would be played during the week commencing April 20. The FA Cup final is scheduled for Saturday, May 16, and should City make it to Wembley, their Premier League away fixture at Bournemouth that same weekend would also require rearranging.
