Man City's Premier League clash with Chelsea rescheduled for TV coverage

Manchester City's Premier League clash against Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium has been rescheduled.

Pep Guardiola's side were originally set to take on the London outfit at 3pm on Saturday 20 May, but the game will now be played on Sunday 21 May with a kick-off of 4pm. The game - City's final home match of the season - has been changed for television broadcast.

It will now be shown on Sky Sports, and comes after the Blues take on Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final tie on Wednesday 17 May.

City have beaten Chelsea on three occasions so far this season - once in the Premier League (1-0) and also in the Carabao Cup (2-0) and FA Cup (4-0). The Blues will wrap up their league campaign away at Brentford.

Guardiola's men progressed to the semi-finals of the Champions League with a 4-1 aggregate victory over Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich - with City drawing 1-1 with Thomas Tuchel's men in the second leg on Wednesday night.

Speaking after the game, Guardiola said: "I’m so happy for three years in a row to be in the Champions League semi-finals. To be honest, the result of 4-1 doesn’t show what was really in the two games from my point of view.

"I couldn’t expect anything different knowing how good they are, the physicality and ideas of Bayern Munich. I was impressed when I lived with them and I was impressed when I play against them. But in this competition it’s the details. Last season in the semi-final of the Champions League we lived the opposite part and in the right moments in these two games, we were there."
