Manchester City will make their first trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium on a Monday night, a day they have not played on in more than two years.

The last few Premier League gameweeks are going to be intense, as Manchester City could still be in a title race by that point.

City still trail Arsenal by nine points, but the Sky Blues have a game in hand, as well as a meeting with Mikel Arteta’s team at the Etihad Stadium.

Therefore, the stakes could be high when Pep Guardiola and his squad make their first ever visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, in a fixture which has just been rescheduled.

Man City’s Premier League match against Everton has been moved

In order for the game to be shown on Sky Sports, Man City’s clash with Everton has been switched to Monday, May 4.

The fixture will kick off at 8pm, with City looking to defeat the Toffees for a second time this season. Erling Haaland scored twice in their previous meeting, which was won 2-0 by the hosts.

Once this game is out of the way, the Citizens will only have three Premier League matches remaining until the table is finalised.

Man City could have more fixtures rearranged

Man City are already waiting to learn when they will face Crystal Palace, as this was delayed due to the Carabao Cup final.

Their match against Burnley, which is a week before the Everton game, could also be moved. This, however, will only happen if City defeat Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Ultimately, Man City’s calendar is looking quite uncertain, but the best teams adapt in order to perform, regardless of the circumstances.

Guardiola and his team have coped with moving fixtures before and the same can be achieved as the season draws near to its conclusion.
