Manchester City handed congested run-in as they chase domestic treble
Manchester City will have to win the Premier League title the hard way after their games against Crystal Palace and Bournemouth were scheduled for either side of the FA Cup final.
Pep Guardiola’s men, who are currently three points behind Arsenal in the title race having played one game fewer, face six games in 21 days, and four in 11, as they look to complete the domestic treble having already won the EFL Cup.
The FA Cup semi-final win over Southampton on Saturday ensured they faced a frenetic end to the campaign with the Wembley clash with Chelsea scheduled for May 16.
