City insist they took the decision to prevent further transmission within the squad. (Image: ZENPIX LTD)"Based on strong medical advice, the Premier League, in consultation with both clubs, has decided to postpone the fixture." City will test all players, coaching staff and support staff on Tuesday in the hope Sunday's trip to play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge can go ahead. While player safety remains the priority, rescheduling postponed fixtures in an already congested programme is something they want to avoid. The Champions League restarts for City on February 24 with a trip to Germany to face Borussia Monchengladbach.
