City were looking to move the two oustanding fixtures to favaourable dates in the run-in.

If the league had agreed, the new dates would have given Pep Guardiola’s men a little advantage over Arsenal.

But instead, they will play Crystal Palace at home on Wednesday, May 13 as originally scheduled, before the FA Cup final on Saturday, May 16.

City’s game against Bournemouth away will go on Tuesday, May 19.

Arsenal are currently three points clear at the top having played a game more.
