No such thing for FA Cup weekends, Sky shows games for PL teams not in the cup anymore ...
Seems a no brainer then. I don’t get why they wouldn’t change it.

I may be remembering this totally wrong but wasn't united's premier league match on TV on the day we played Stoke in the final? Don't think Sky would think twice about sticking prem games on when other channels have FA Cup matches.No such thing for FA Cup weekends, Sky shows games for PL teams not in the cup anymore ...
For purely selfish reasons i hope not, my Mrs is due our first child on the 17th of March.
I would too but it could be risky not travelling today as we could forfeit this game according to rulesWould prefer City not to travel than to risk our high value players on an icy ground.
I know there may be issues travelling and around the ground and more snow forecast but that isn't a blanket of snow its a smattering, I can see the pitch through that.https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/5689976/arsenal-man-city-snow-emirates-stadium-match-off/

City plan to travel down for the crunch Premier League clash tomorrow morning, putting the fixture at risk due to the travel problems.
And Storm Emma left the Emirates frozen over today, adding to fan's fears the match could be postponed.
The UK is set to be gripped by the worst of the weather on Thursday, leading to questions as to why City are leaving it so late to head to London.
It is understood Pep Guardiola's side are not worried about missing the match, which would lead to an automatic Arsenal win.
Premier League rules mean the Gunners would be awarded a 3-0 win if it is the other team's fault they cannot fulfil the fixture.
In the past, City have travelled down to the capital the day before a game, staying at a hotel overnight.
There were even warnings the freezing conditions could get WORSE over the coming days as Storm Emma takes hold.
