Premier League title race extends to the final games as FA confirm new dates for key fixtures
The conclusion of the 2023–2024 Premier League title race may face a delay following the recent announcement by the English FA regarding rescheduled fixtures for key clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City.
As the Premier League season enters its final stretch, the English FA has unveiled a revised schedule along with potential new dates for matches involving the league’s top three teams.
Taking into account that these leading clubs are also competing in the knockout stages of UEFA competitions, the FA has adjusted the fixture list to allow sufficient rest time for both players and coaching staff ahead of their upcoming matches. These adjustments will primarily impact two game weeks in the Premier League: weeks 34 and 35. Here are the revised dates as well as proposed dates based on UEFA tournament scheduling:
