Premier League title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City have been given new dates for their respective matches against Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Liverpool’s trip to Southampton has been moved to Tuesday, May 17 — five days before the end of the campaign — to accommodate their FA Cup final against Chelsea on May 14.
Manchester City’s game against Wolves will take place on Wednesday, May 11. Their match was postponed earlier this month due to City’s participation in the FA Cup semi-final. They were knocked out of the competition by Liverpool.
The rearranged game with Wolves means Pep Guardiola’s side will play three top-flight games in seven days.
Liverpool will play two league matches and the FA Cup final within the same timeframe.
Both games could be pivotal in the race for the Premier League title.
Manchester City sit top of the table, one point ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
City and Liverpool could still meet in the Champions League final on May 28. City beat Real Madrid 4-3 in the first leg of their semi-final on Tuesday night, while Liverpool face Villarreal tonight.
Liverpool’s remaining league games are: Newcastle (April 30), Tottenham (May 7), Aston Villa (May 10), Southampton (May 17) and Wolves (May 22).
Manchester City’s remaining league games are: Leeds (April 30), Newcastle (May 8), Wolves (May 11), West Ham (May 15) and Aston Villa (May 22).
