Barclays Premier League 2013/14

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini says Sergio Aguero and Fernandinho need an extra week to recover from hamstring and thigh injuries respectively.

What exactly could the clubs do in this scenario?

Call it off sooner, or make fans aware earlier in the day the game may be called off.

BBC Sport's Alistair Magowan at Etihad Stadium: "I've just spoken to Manchester City's director of communications Vicky Kloss and she says that the game was called off by the police for safety reasons. Although the game could have gone ahead from a playing perspective, programme booths have been blowing over and a nearby wall has blown down so safety of fans cannot be guaranteed.
"There is no word on when the game will be re-arranged for, but having just travelled across Manchester, it seems like a good decision to postpone the game."

Sure it'd be pocket change to City too.
