FA Cup TV times: Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City and Man United games all moved for schedule
MANCHESTER CITY are on collision course with the FA over the scheduling of their cup match with Chelsea.
Manuel Pellegrini will play a young team in the Chelsea FA Cup clash
Manuel Pellegrini had insisted he would play a weakened team if City's game with Chelsea was played on the Sunday because they would need to travel to Kiev on the Monday for their Champions League game.
Chelsea play PSG the Tuesday before meaning a Saturday game would give both sides the same gap in between games.
“I'm very worried for a lot of things. First and foremost, if we have to play that game on that Sunday, we will not play with our [full-strength] team, we will play with a young team," Pellegrini said earlier today.
“We have to travel to Ukraine on Monday, so I don't see any reason why we can't play on the Saturday. Chelsea play their Champions League game on the Tuesday before.
“So if we have to play on the Sunday, we will have to see which players will have to play. I don't want to analyse why, but I think if we have to play against Chelsea four days before, we should play on the Saturday.
“If we play on the Sunday, we have to put Manchester City's interests first. For me, I must do what I feel is best for the club, to play with the strongest team we can in the Champions League."
However the FA have announced the game will be on the Sunday at 4pm at Stamford Bridge.
