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:

    I have no idea if it’s a prem rule at the top of the football tree or not. When I was doing junior footy management one of the rules introduced by the FA was that if the ball was able to move consistently unaided in the wind then the match was deemed unplayable.

    Is that the case or just a localised junior rule?

      They called it off too early, IMO. Should have waited until 13.00. West Ham fans already on their way at 11.00 so not much use to them. Most City fans won't be leaving until 13.30 at the earliest.
