When will Manchester City play their game in hand?

Manchester City are in touching distance of Premier League leaders Arsenal and have played a match fewer than the Gunners.

Pep Guardiola's side defeated Leicester City 3-1 in their last league game - with Erling Haaland and John Stones scoring for the Manchester side.

After Arsenal's 2-2 draw with West Ham in their last game, it now means that City are now four points behind Mikel Arteta's men.

With the Gunners in action on Friday, City will not be involved in the league this weekend due to their involvement in the FA Cup. Both City and Arsenal will go head-to-head next week in what could be a pivotal moment in the title race. Even after the showdown between the two sides, Guardiola's men will still have a game in hand, which will be against Brighton and Hove Albion.

But when will Manchester City play their game in hand? What are their remaining fixtures? Mail Sport provides all the answers below.

When will Manchester City play their game in hand?

Manchester City were due to play Brighton this weekend. However, the fixture was forced to be postponed as Guardiola's men are still in the FA Cup.

City will face Championship side Sheffield United this weekend for a place in the final at Wembley.

As of yet, the Premier League have not confirmed the date for City to play their game-in-hand against Roberto De Zerbi's Brighton.

Confirmation of the rescheduled date will depend on City's success in Europe. Guardiola's side are in pole position to progress through to the semi-finals following their quarter-final first-leg win against Bayern Munich. The English side won 3-0 as they travel to Germany for the second leg this evening.

Should City make it through to the last four of the Champions League, they will then be back in European action on Tuesday, May 9, with the second leg taking place a week later on Tuesday, May 16.

Following the semi-final clashes, the only available slot for City to play Brighton is on the week commencing May 22.

Guardiola's men will face Chelsea on Saturday, May 20 and then have an eight-day gap before their final game of the season against Brentford.

The most doable date for City vs Brighton will most likely be Wednesday, May 24.

What are City's remaining league games?

After last weekend's league outing against Leicester, City will not be in Premier League action again until Wednesday, May 26 when the side face Arsenal.

Four days later, Guardiola's men travel to west London to face Marco Silva's Fulham.

They then host West Ham before games against Leeds United and Everton.

Guardiola's side will then face Chelsea before their final game of the season away to Thomas Frank's Brentford.

City's full fixture Premier League list for the rest of the season are as followed:

What happened in the reverse fixture with Brighton?

City have already met Brighton earlier this season, with Guardiola's side coming out on top.

Goals from Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne secured a 3-1 win for Guardiola's men back in October.

The win against Brighton was their first match since losing 1-0 against Liverpool at Anfield.
