Bournemouth (H) gets postponed from that Sunday night slot on 18th May ... FA Cup Final against Palace slots in on Saturday 17th May (time to be confirmed) ... the most likely slot for the last home game of the season against Bournemouth will now be on Tue 20th or Wed 21st May ... but could be played on Tue 13th or Wed 14th as well ...

So now we wait for FA to announce the time for the Final and for PL to announce the re-arranged date for our last home game.

The problem Sky has is that the Europa League final is on that Wednesday and the potential viewing figures for a Spurs v rags clash (probably free to watch on TNT’s YouTube channel) would dwarf anything City v Bournemouth could hope to attract. Even if only one of them gets to the final, it’s going to be tough to compete for neutral viewers.
I suspect for that reason alone, Bournemouth may well end up on Tuesday 20th. The previous midweek is also a possibility but playing a few days before the final isn’t ideal.

Is cup final likely to be 3pm given there are no prem games that day.

I'd be shocked if it is. The broadcasters will want a 5:00-5:30pm kickoff as they insisted on a decade or so ago. Only way it could be 3:00pm is on police advice (as was the case for the two rags finals) which won't be happening this year.

Bummer. BBC pushing for 3pm due to Eurovision apparently ! Let’s hope they have some sway.

Heard that City are pushing for Bournemouth to be before the cup final to give them a greater window for the stadium works.

Is an extra week to do the building work more important than giving us a better chance of winning the fa cup?

Broad as it is long for me. Play it Tuesday night. 3 days after Southampton, 4 days before the final. Seal top 4 apart from the shouting and win the pot on the Saturday.

Exactly the above said. Win next 3 games almost surely guarantees you top 5 and then fa cup final and you do your job before the final week much better
