Man United & Man City
Both Manchester United and Man City are through to the Champions League quarterfinals.
Indeed, all four Premier League participants are through to the last eight, including Tottenham and Liverpool.
It’s well known in English football that Man United and Man City never have home games scheduled on the same weekend.
That’s due to well established policing laws in the city.
UEFA confirm Champions League schedule ruling
The draw for the Champions League quarterfinals is set for Friday in Switzerland.
Friday’s draw will also map out the sides route to the final.
Of course, the draw will be random as all eight teams will be in the hat.
What will happen if Man United and Man City are both drawn with home matches on the same gameweek?
It’s been confirmed on Thursday that UEFA reserve the right to amend the scheduling if that happens.

If @ManUtd + @ManCity both drawn to play CL quarter-finals in same order (both home at same time), United, as lower ranked team, will have their game switched. Local authority do not want them both at home in the same week.

Same would also apply if they both reach semi-finals.
