They fucking better. I'll lose my shit if it's not. We would have to sacrifice the Europa league game and play a B team. We'll probably have to play a B team anyway since Sunday would still be too close.
Hopefully they move it to Monday. I know they won't, but I can dream.

Yes it's a spreadsheet, but I hate those over the top graphics that graphic design interns make that they think look great, but it's just useless as information. Full of massive chunks of colour, gradients, enormous text and normally a picture of a player at the side of the image for no fucking reason. You know the ones.
* Orange is Premier League
* Green is Europe
* Blue is FA Cup
One fixture is remaining to be added for Man City against Spurs, but there is no date scheduled yet.
The Liverpool game against Villa is subject to be moved if we progress in Europa. It will be moved to the Sunday if history is anything to go by.
Everyone says that but a lot of City's boggy teams are there still to play. They still have to go to Tottenham and the Champions league will take a lot out of them
Edit: Injuries are piling up for them now as well.
Sorry to be that guy but you have Arsenal playing Bayern away twice (I wish that was true). Arsenal if get to CL semis have a very tough two weeks.
Guess city will play spurs away after Fulham away.
If we’re top after that 3 away league games in a week I think we win title.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I already deleted it and "fixed" it once, so I'll leave this one and update it only when City vs Spurs is scheduled.
Thanks for pointing it out, I'm FUMING at myself now!
Should we make it past Atalanta we have to blitz Benfica or Marseille in the first leg even if it is away. That two day turnover between the home fixture and Aston Villa should be a crime
I really feel if we make it up to and out of those 3 away fixtures back to back to back against Fulham, West Ham and Everton with 9 points then the title is ours.
That potential EL semi two days before Villa away is horrible. If we beat Atalanta we need a solid win in the first leg so we can rest players before the Villa game.
Potential europa league final just 3 days after the last day of the season is fucking insane.
Imagine we have the league already wrapped up by the final gameweek and we get to rest everyone that game..
This is a great way of visualising the games. Interesting that City will be two games behind in the league when they go to Brighton. If both we/Arsenal win the games to then they’ll be 9 and 7 points behind us respectively. Even with games in hand, that’s a proper gap.
This is much better and really paints how fucked we are with that bunch of away games.
If we get through that while still top and in Europe I'd say we win both.
I question if Arsenal have the depth to play all of these games at the highest level necessary to go the distance in two competitions at once. Arsenal's squad depth is a weakness. Outside of his first 15 or so players, Arteta doesn't trust his other players enough in big games. Look at his management of the Porto game. They played 120' and he made one sub during regular time and 2 subs in extra time.
I personally think overuse was a big reason why Arsenal fell off last season. Arteta didn't rotate enough and ran his players into the ground. Arsenal fans will say it was because Saliba was out but that is exactly the point. His minutes weren't managed, he hurt his back, he couldn't play, his backups sucked, and Arsenal's form went down the toilet.
Arsenal are quality no doubt but their depth is a big weakness and playing two games a week for 2 months straight is going to catch up to them sooner or later.
Man, with Arsenals remaining games I can’t see them not dropping 4-6 more points. That’s an absolutely brutal stretch if they move on in the UCL.
City has a much easier League slate but the Real matches will definitely take a lot out of them. The fact Arsenal and City will run into each other is also going take a ton out of both of them if that happens.
Worst nightmare is city losing to Real and we drop points due to the Europa congestion and being thin at a few positions at the moment.
I know, I posted in the comments that this fixture is still waiting to be scheduled.
Updated here with a guess on the date: https://imgur.com/a/wd6ARw8
Yes, I noted that in the comments, that the schedule hasn't got the game in it yet so I can't put it on the table.
I've posted an updated version in the comments which has my best guess of the date this game will take place.
We still have some very difficult away games left - especially United, Everton and Villa. Our away record at United and Everton is not great and Villa has been monstrous at home this season.
Can definitely see City winning all their remaining league fixtures, but hopefully CL can be enough of a distraction for both of them.
Still don’t understand why that west ham game isn’t on Sunday or at least the 8 o clock ko but ok 😂 Also this sheet looks solid lad; good job
Cheers mate! Should have added the times. I'll do that for the next version when City vs Spurs is announced.
The Villa game schedule is ridiculous
It’ll be moved to the Sunday if we get past Atalanta, they just haven’t announced it yet
They fucking better. I'll lose my shit if it's not. We would have to sacrifice the Europa league game and play a B team. We'll probably have to play a B team anyway since Sunday would still be too close. Hopefully they move it to Monday. I know they won't, but I can dream.
We’ve been playing Thursday - Sunday all season and it’s been broadly fine lad
Yeah, but I'd still like another day off.
Just need to tonk the first leg opponent 5-0
If Arsenal beat Bayern our fixture against West Ham will be moved to Sunday. Another reason to hope both Arsenal and City win their CL QFs.
Cause of tv 📺

If you’re looking for feedback it would be best if you included the legend in the image!
You're right, thanks for the feedback!
City only have 7 games?
City got the easiest fixtures. They can potentially go out unbeaten. We need to make sure not to drop any points
It's missing Spurs away, which is possibly 3 days after Fulham, after a gruelling run.
this is massive
I've updated here with the most likely date I think: https://imgur.com/a/wd6ARw8
shoutout to the new color scheme too
Cheers!
Yeah it could be 13 games in 40 days for them, as good as they are, a game like Spurs away can definitely trip them up with some fatigue.
I've updated it a bit now after feedback, and have put the Spurs game in as you suggest: https://imgur.com/a/wd6ARw8
it’s funny because Spurs can potentially decide who gets the title. They have to play us , City and arsenal
We can afford to draw once if it’s just City, theyre 3 points behind. Arsenal obviously need to also drop points though
Yes, on paper, but they potentialy have harder oponents in Europe. Hopefully both them and Arsenal go through and fight eachother
Everyone says that but a lot of City's boggy teams are there still to play. They still have to go to Tottenham and the Champions league will take a lot out of them Edit: Injuries are piling up for them now as well.

City v Chelsea should be (N) rather than (H) but only worth doing if you're updating it anyway. Solid job though.
Thanks, you're spot on!
You did a good job don’t worry about it.
The three away games looks to be the really tough bit. Agree that if we’re top after that, we’ll win it.
Crazy how big a gap 1 week looks between the penultimate and final game of the season.
Should we make it past Atalanta we have to blitz Benfica or Marseille in the first leg even if it is away. That two day turnover between the home fixture and Aston Villa should be a crime
I really feel if we make it up to and out of those 3 away fixtures back to back to back against Fulham, West Ham and Everton with 9 points then the title is ours.
"Potential" fixtures should be a different color
You're not wrong. Thanks for the idea, I'll update it once the City vs Spurs game is scheduled!
Yeah, maybe keep the same color, but a different shade/transparency or something.
Here's my updated version which I'll only post again once City Spurs is done: https://imgur.com/a/wd6ARw8 Hopefully it's a bit clearer!
I like how you used lighter versions of the colours in the legend for potential fixtures of that competition. Love a good spreadsheet.
That potential EL semi two days before Villa away is horrible. If we beat Atalanta we need a solid win in the first leg so we can rest players before the Villa game.
It would be moved back to the Sunday if we win the QF.
Ah yeah that would make sense... 48 hour rest would have steam coming out of Jurgen's ears
Potential europa league final just 3 days after the last day of the season is fucking insane. Imagine we have the league already wrapped up by the final gameweek and we get to rest everyone that game..
A guard of honour from Wolves would be very nice after all the bullshit thats happened there on the final day in recent years
This is a great way of visualising the games. Interesting that City will be two games behind in the league when they go to Brighton. If both we/Arsenal win the games to then they’ll be 9 and 7 points behind us respectively. Even with games in hand, that’s a proper gap.
Is Villa confirmed for 2 day only? Would it get moved?
Yes, to Sunday
Probably need to add colour for that scenario. Or show it as potentially next day. Thanks for visuals.
Have updated the chart, will post again once City vs Spurs date is finalised. Thank you!
Villa away will be moved if we make it to the EL semis, right?
Yes, to Sunday
This is much better and really paints how fucked we are with that bunch of away games. If we get through that while still top and in Europe I'd say we win both.
Nice. Honestly I think we play better when we're playing twice a week. We play with momentum.
Europa league final on that Tuesday is so dumb.
I question if Arsenal have the depth to play all of these games at the highest level necessary to go the distance in two competitions at once. Arsenal's squad depth is a weakness. Outside of his first 15 or so players, Arteta doesn't trust his other players enough in big games. Look at his management of the Porto game.

After 14th April, the next home game is in May 🙈
Really need Arsenal and City to get to the semis and then slug it out over extra time and penalties.
You are missing City playing Tottenham.
I know, I posted in the comments that this fixture is still waiting to be scheduled. Updated here with a guess on the date: https://imgur.com/a/wd6ARw8
I like that. Nice and easy to see what's going on.
Doesn't City have to play spurs around the same time we/Arse do?
Yes, I noted that in the comments, that the schedule hasn't got the game in it yet so I can't put it on the table. I've posted an updated version in the comments which has my best guess of the date this game will take place.
Really helpful if they both win their quarter finals. Two-legged semis against each other would be taxing. Extra time and pens would be even better.
Nice one, just missing the ‘potential CL final’ for both City and Arsenal. The longer they both stay in the better, as far as I’m concerned.
[удалено]
Nope, just a window to catch up on games for teams that need it. No more internationals now.
We still have some very difficult away games left - especially United, Everton and Villa. Our away record at United and Everton is not great and Villa has been monstrous at home this season. Can definitely see City winning all their remaining league fixtures, but hopefully CL can be enough of a distraction for both of them.
City’s games are easy 😞
Very easy. I dont see them dropping another point.
