Any last lingering possibility of Manchester City v Crystal Palace going ahead in Gameweek 31 was snuffed out on Thursday night.
Had Palace been eliminated from the UEFA Conference League, their trip to the Etihad – postponed this weekend due to City’s EFL Cup final involvement – could theoretically have been played on April 7/8.
That would have kept it in Gameweek 31.
But Palace’s victory over AEK Larnaca has eliminated that prospect.
WHEN COULD CITY V PALACE BE PLAYED?
We’re looking at the midweeks after Gameweek 33 or 36 for City v Palace now. That would create a double for both sides:
Palace or City could yet have two Double Gameweeks, as one of their Gameweek 34 fixtures will have to be moved due to the clash with the FA Cup semi-finals.
