Man City were set to play Bournemouth, on what will be Andoni Iraola's final home game as manager, on Sunday, May 17, at the Vitality Stadium in a crucial game in the Premier League title race.
The fixture has now been postponed after Man City beat Southampton in the FA Cup semi-final. City fell behind in the 78th minute as Finn Azaz broke the deadlock to have the Championship side dreaming of a return to Wembley Stadium.
However, Jeremy Doku equalised shortly after before Nico Gonzalez completed the comeback with a stunning effort with three minutes of normal time remaining to keep City on track for a domestic treble.
A date for the rearranged game against Bournemouth, is set to be announced in due course.
Though, there is the potential for the Bournemouth vs Man City fixture to be rearranged before the FA Cup final - against either Chelsea or Leeds - on May 16, which means City would play before Arsenal face already-relegated Burnley at the Emirates Stadium.
Pep Guardiola’s side began the weekend top of the Premier League table by virtue of scoring more goals than the Gunners as the two teams are level on points and have the same goal difference of +37.
Arsenal have since been in action against Newcastle, winning 1-0 to move three points clear at the top of the table, improving their goal difference to +38 in the process.
Furthermore, a date for Man City’s home game against Crystal Palace is still to be announced after it was postponed due to City being in Carabao Cup final action on March 22.
