Manchester City have confirmed their rescheduled Premier League clash with Manchester United will take place on Thursday, April 27.
The initial fixture had been postponed due to United's involvement in the EFL Cup, with Jose Mourinho's side lifting the trophy thanks to a 3-2 win over Southampton.
City's game with Middlesbrough has also been moved to Sunday, April 30 with a 14:05 kick-off. That game had been pencilled in for Saturday, but has been pushed back an extra day to help the players recover.
The original Manchester derby game was due to take place on February 26. United's involvement in the Europa League and FA Cup also saw some of their other games postponed, meaning a late season fixture pile-up.
Mourinho revealed his frustration with the large number of remaining fixtures, with United set to play 15 more games if they reach the Europa League final.
