West Ham and Manchester City have rejected a fresh offer to play their rescheduled Premier League clash this weekend, according to the London Evening Standard.
The game between the pair was called off due to Storm Ciara, with Manchester City deeming the conditions to be unsafe.
This means that the game will have to be rescheduled, but the clubs have decided to reject plans to play it this weekend.
There is a potential window to play the fixture, with several Premier League sides playing fixtures next weekend, but both West Ham and Man City have said no to the suggestion.
This presents a problem for the Premier League, with there now being limited time to fit the fixture into Manchester City’s fixture list, especially with their Champions League schedule.
Read West Ham’s verdict
Fitting a fixture in may be a problem for the Premier League, with Manchester City having limited time to play the game, as per the report.
It is likely that no decision over when the game will be played will happen before City’s Champions League tie against Real Madrid, which will be played next month.
However, if City are forced into playing the game mid-week, with their hectic schedule, then it could present a huge positive for West Ham, with Guardiola potentially being forced to put out a weakened team against the Hammers.
