However, Newcastle United’s visit to the Etihad Stadium remains at 3pm on Saturday, February 15, after it was not selected for live television coverage.
Due to the complexity of the fixture calendar, the Premier League will announce the TV selection for matches on the weekend of Saturday 1 March, in the week commencing 13 January, following the FA Cup fourth round draw.
City will hope to have fought their way back into title defense by the start of the brutal February series. Pep Guardiola’s side are currently eight points behind leaders Liverpool, who still have a game in hand after Saturday’s Merseyside derby against Everton was postponed due to Storm Darragh.
The Cityzens have won just one of their last nine games in all competitions and are battling an unprecedented injury crisis as they bid to become the first team to win five Premier League titles in a row.
