MANCHESTER CITY were set to take on struggling West Ham today, but the match has been postponed.
Pep Guardiola’s men are now set for three weeks without a game as head off on a winter break until February 22.
Sergio Aguero has not scored in his last three fixtures and will now have to wait a bit longer to get back among the goals
What time was Man City vs West Ham meant to kick off?
This Premier League encounter was set to take place on Sunday, February 8 at the Etihad Stadium.
Kick-off was scheduled for 4.30pm.
Why has Man City vs West Ham been called off?
Man City vs West Ham has been called off as a result of Storm Ciara.
A club tweet has simply said: “Due to extreme and escalating weather conditions and in the interests of supporter and staff safety, today’s
Premier League match against West Ham has been postponed.”
However, fans later fumed about the decision as photos from the Etihad showed sun breaking out over the stadium.
What TV channel is Man City vs West Ham on and can I live stream it?
Man City vs West Ham was meant to be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.
Live streaming was available for Sky Sports customers via the app on their computer, mobile and tablet devices.
Non-Sky customers had the option of purchasing a Sky Sports Day Pass from NowTV for £9.99.
As Sky Sports still have the rights to this fixture, the TV channel is likely to be unchanged when the new date is announced.
When will Man City vs West Ham be played now?
It is not yet known when the two teams will meet, but there are very few available dates for the rematch.
Most available midweek slots are currently filled by Uefa matches, while the FA Cup fifth round takes place on March 4.
The week commencing April 21 and May 8 are available, but Man City also need to arrange a new date for their match against Arsenal, which was postponed due to the League Cup final.
There may also be the possibility of the sides eating into the winter break and re-arranging the match for sometime over the next two weeks.
West Ham have also announced that free coach travel will be in place for all their fans with tickets to the original fixture.
