Fixture schedule unfair to Man City – Silva

According to Bernardo Silva, a midfielder for Manchester City, the Premier League’s scheduling put his team at a disadvantage against Arsenal.

At Sunday’s Emirates Stadium, Gabriel Martinelli scored in stoppage time to give Arsenal a 1-1 draw.

After beating Napoli 2-0 at home on Thursday, City had 66 hours to get ready for the game.

On Tuesday, Arsenal defeated Athletic Club 2-0 in Bilbao.

Playing one of these games in this manner is unacceptable. Simply put, Silva said, “It is not right.”

“We cannot enter one of the most significant games of the season with such a dismal rest,” the truth is.

City were “incredibly tired” against Arsenal, according to manager Pep Guardiola.

He claimed in January that Premier League schedules put “the toughest schedules for the European teams in the important stages” on English teams, which is put to a disadvantage in Europe.

Silva, who made 62 appearances for City and Portugal last year, said: “I don’t believe they are trying to force us to lose a game.
