Man City are absolutely furious over rescheduled FA Cup clash against Chelsea

Not happy

Ben Kiely

The end of February/beginning of March is going to be a stressful time for Manchester City.

The club could potentially go from being in with a chance of winning four trophies to being out of contention of all but one in the space of 11 days.

City will play four games in that period, three of them away from home. One of which, the FA Cup match at Stamford Bridge has been rescheduled to Sunday, February 21,  the day before they travel to Ukraine for their Champions League round-of-16 clash against Dynamo Kiev.

Manchester City v West Ham United - Premier League

Sky Sports News are reporting that Man City have written to the Football Association and other football authorities to complain about the rescheduling of the FA Cup clash overloading their schedule.

A source at the Premier League side has reportedly told Sky Sports News that manager Manuel Pellegrini will have no other option but to reluctantly field a weakened team in the Cup clash against the Blues.

After those two ties they take on Liverpool at Wembley in the Capital One Cup final on Sunday, February 28 before facing the Reds again at Anfield in the Premier League on Wednesday, March 2.
