Manchester City vs Brentford Postponed: Here’s Why
Manchester City’s highly anticipated home fixture against Brentford will not be taking place this weekend. The match has been postponed due to Manchester City’s participation in the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup.
Manchester City’s Commitments in Saudi Arabia
The Premier League clash was originally scheduled to take place on Saturday, December 23rd at 3pm GMT. However, the date had to be changed as Manchester City has important commitments in Saudi Arabia during the same week.
Manchester City earned their spot in the Club World Cup after their historic victory in the Champions League last season. In the final, they defeated Italian giants Inter Milan with a 1-0 score, thanks to Rodri’s match-winning goal in the 68th minute.
Club World Cup Schedule
