Leeds United confirm rescheduled date for Manchester City clash

Leeds United have announced that their Premier League match against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium has officially been rescheduled to a day earlier than originally planned.

The Whites were supposed to face Pep Guardiola's side on Sunday, May 7 at 2pm but will now instead be a 3pm kick-off on Saturday, May 6.

The change is happening because of Man City's progression into the Champions League semi-final stage after beating Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich 4-1 over two legs earlier in the week.

With City's first leg in Madrid scheduled for Tuesday, May 9, it was logistically impossible for them to play two nights before, meaning the tie with the Whites has been pushed forward a day.

Now that the game has been rescheduled, fans can expect ticket sale information to be confirmed shortly, with the club unwilling to out them on sale before the date of the match had been properly confirmed.
