Fixtures February 9

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:

        Kun and Jesus likely to play around 120 each or so, would be worth having both.

    City postponement a non-event in my MLs - none of the contenders have anyone other than KDB. However, with WC and FH still to go I wouldn't be displeased with another chance to get Kun or other attacking coverage in for a game at home to West Ham, especially if it's part of a double.

    Basically, if I get rid of Digne I can spend 4.4 (Fernandez/Stephens) - if Sidibe I can only get Lamptey/Hanley as bench fodder...
