Man City v West Ham postponed due to adverse weather conditions

One of today’s two Premier League matches has been called off.

Manchester City announced this morning that their meeting with West Ham United wouldn’t go ahead “due to extreme and escalating weather conditions and in the interests of supporter and staff safety.”

A date for the postponed match has yet to be announced (it remains to be seen if the winter break could still accommodate this clash) but City are facing a real backlog of fixtures, with Pep Guardiola’s troops also blanking in Gameweek 28.

Progression to the FA Cup quarter-finals (or Chelsea’s) would also force their Gameweek 31 meeting with Frank Lampard’s side to be rearranged.

City’s Gameweek 34 clash against Newcastle United would be postponed if either team made it through to the FA Cup semi-finals, although the free midweek afterwards would accommodate one of their outstanding games.

As it stands, the other Premier League match scheduled for today – Sheffield United v Bournemouth – remains on.

The Blades’ fan services account tweeted this update earlier on:

      Super unlucky but imagine the scenes if Mo scores a hatty, baby celebration imminent surely (like the one people thought was coming from Vardy)

    Aguero(c) KDB(vc) Mahrez

    Rookie error I know, but maybe you can see why I was a bit touchy

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Only thing you did wrong was vice needed in another game. I have Salah C Trent VC which was my own oversight

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Haha

      1. built_this_city

        4 years, 1 month ago

        Really bad error with your cap and vice cap on the same team

        Worst error I’ve seen

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          My Sterling (C), KDB (VC) vs. Watford earlier this season disagrees.

          I wouldn't have done it for a game with a predicted severe weather risk, mind.

          1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Yh that's the point foolish to vc same team if u had risks before the gw started of match cancelling

        2. SADIO SANÉ

    Wow - I can't believe that, hands up, I called that wrong earlier on, was sure it would go ahead.

    Must be alto worse in England than it currently is here in Northern Ireland.

    1. faux_C
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thing is - it's not about the pitch, it's about the fans outside.

      1. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        As if no-one is Manchester is going to go out today ... its not about the fans, its about not being sued

  11. rnrd

    What does the postponing of MCI - WHU means in for this Gw? What happens to the city players ? Are they blanking ?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Unless they rearrange it for this gw

      1. built_this_city
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        They won’t

        1. Tinmen
          • 10 Years

          What makes you say that ?

        2. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years

          Do you have history with WR or something?

      2. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yep, but cant see that happening to be honest.

        I have lucked out, only have kdb from City, and in ml am chasing, 2 have double city c,vc, so rotten luck for them.

        Guy 1st in ml has Kun, KDB and mahrez, sitting at 10k OR.

        1. HashAttack
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          My rival has lucked out .. .really annoying as we are quite closed

          From last Sunday and today I have had 3 Agueros, 2 KDBs and 1 Son to his nothing - my score +12

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      We don't know until the fixture is given a new date.

    3. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Why wouldn't they arrange the game for next weekend?

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Imagine cause TV scheduling has already been set

      2. faux_C
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Winter break is important.

  12. Kip
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Now watch Salah get a rest next week for the birth of his kid

    1. jimski
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If none of Aguero, KDB or Salah play, very few players will have a captain anyway...

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Should have stuck the VC on Son rather than KDB!

      2. Kip
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thats why i put the VC on Ings

        1. Long ago I drew a walrus
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          High five, fellow Ings captainer

        2. Am sorry to say again it�…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

          We smart

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The Salah cappers would still win as they probably get Son, TAA etc. as VC

    3. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      This is precisely why I VCed Ings. Genuinely hope it happens.but tbh it's unlikely

    4. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If Christian Eriksens missus goes into labour you would be bricking it with a Spurs player in your team

  13. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Imagine most VC falls on Salah in the community?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      KDB

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Some might have put it on Kevin or Mahrez

  14. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    As long as Trents not the father and wants to be bedside im ok with it

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ha ha - that applies to me too (the TAA vc bit, not me being the father)

  15. Dybala10
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Two double game weeks now for Man City sounds like heaven, then you remember Pep roulette.

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep actually sounds like roulette especially if around champs league (if they’re still in it)

    2. Kip
      • 10 Years

      *checks Edersons price

    3. Sulk
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Or a triple

  16. Steirish
    • 9 Years

    How likely is William's to play against chelsea? got him coming off the bench

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      70 % imo. Think he plays LWB with Shaw at LCB

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This

  17. Long ago I drew a walrus

    Ings (VC) to outscore Salah. Come on Danny boy

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Very possible.

    2. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Could be good this GW

  18. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    "Further information regarding the rescheduling of today’s match will be published in due course."

    This is the million dollar question

    1. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It’ll be outside this GW for sure just a maximise the jam for my non city owning rivals.

      P.s. ok a bitter Kun captainer

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years

        When did you get Aguero in?

  19. Queens of the South Age
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Quickly checks I didn't vice captain Kun....bullet dodged. Happy with Salah.

    Mahrez to Son looking a better now too. 🙂

      1. Queens of the South Age
        • 6 Years

        Sure mate.

    My one week punt on Mendy turned into a 0 week punt.

  21. faux_C

    Be interesting to see if this could change the possible games that can be the ones when Liverpool win the league.

    1. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      When Liverpool score another 17 points then they win it - regardless of how city do

  22. Make Arrows Green Again
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bad luck anyone who brought in Aguero before yesterday morning 🙁 yet another reason why early transfers are a risk.

    I'd be interested to know if anyone brought him in after this storm warning broke. There was always a risk from Friday night onwards.

    1. faux_C
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Captain Hindsight nonsense. No-one could have seen this coming even with the storm.

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I don't think I'm the only one who specifically changed my mind yesterday morning despite being on the move all week, having the budget to do Vardy to Kun with 1FT. Like I say it's bad luck but it's always a risk. First time in decades that there has been country-wide gale force wind warnings.

      2. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly

      3. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Today I learnt that people still listen to / watch the weather forecast

  23. King Henrik

    Wtf is going on !!!!!!!

  24. diesel001

    Per the PL Handbook

    https://www.premierleague.com/publications

    L.14 Upon a League Match being postponed or abandoned in accordance with Rules L.12.1, L.12.2, L.12.3, or L.12.4 the Home Club shall forthwith inform the Board, and the Board will thereupon exercise its power under Rule L.1.2 and fix a date and kick-off time of the re-arranged League Match.

    L.1. The Board shall: L.1.1. determine the dates and kick-off times of all League Matches as soon as practicable prior to the commencement of each Season; and L.1.2. have the power at any time thereafter to change the date and kick-off time of a League Match, and before exercising such power the Board will consult with and take into account any representations made by the Clubs participating in the League Match in question and any other Club or Clubs which may be affected thereby.

    1. SADIO SANÉ

      do you want to play next weekend? yeah okay

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Pretty much, but also need police and fans groups to agree.

    2. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      So long as the rules don't allow West Ham to just concede the 3 points without playing

  25. Sharkytect
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I think the article should make it clear that city players will get 0 points unless the match is hastily rearranged during the winter break (unlikely). I can just see a lot of people asking questions.

    Also, let people know what happens if they captained a man city player...

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The article cannot make it clear, because the situation is unclear.

      No one knows definitively what will HAPPEN.

      1. Sharkytect
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I actually just meant it could explain that if man city don't play this gameweek then your man city players won't get any points. A lot of people seem to ask this most basic of questions

        1. HashAttack
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Now you have confused me - 0 points or classed as non-playing so that our subs come in

          1. Sharkytect
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            There you go - needs explaining by the someine better than me!

            (Classed as non-playing. Subs and vice captains come in)

            1. HashAttack
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              you gave me a moment of panic there .... as I thought, thanks

  26. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I can't even be arsed to look who my 1st sub is

  27. King Henrik
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Trent vice captain. I thought I had it on Salah VC. F you Storm Ciara

  28. rnrd

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Checking the calendar, city - whu could very well be re-arranged to next week end and still count for GW26 couldn’t it?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It is a possibility. Provided both clubs and the PL Board agree to it.

  29. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    wow those with double/triple of Kun, KDB and Mahrez, hope you have a playing bench.
