Manchester derby between City and United moved to April 27

The Manchester derby is one of six matches to have been rescheduled for April, the Premier League has announced.

Manchester City will welcome local rivals Manchester United to the Etihad Stadium on April 27 at 8 p.m. BST -- as sources had told ESPN FC on Sunday -- after the original game was postponed due to the latter side's involvement in the EFL Cup final last month.

The clash could prove to have a big influence on the battle to finish in the Premier League's top four, with fifth-placed United currently five points behind third-placed City, having played a game less.
