Manchester City will face Chelsea twice in less than 72 hours in January, after their FA Cup third round clash was confirmed for TV broadcast.
City will welcome Graham Potter's side to the Etihad Stadium for their first home game of 2023 on Sunday January 8, with BBC One showing the game live. Kick off is at 4.30pm.
That means that just two days separate City's Premier League trip to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea for their opening fixture of the New Year. That game takes place at 8pm on Thursday January 5, with not much turnaround before a cup rematch at the Etihad.
