On Wednesday night, fans across the country will be torn over whether to watch Arsenal or Manchester City in their respective Champions League quarter-final ties. 

To the frustration of many, the two Premier League giants will take to the pitch at the same time, as they bid to book their places in the final four of the competition.

Arsenal will travel to the Allianz Arena following their 2-2 draw last week, while City will host Real Madrid after their 3-3 first leg result.

Typically, the English sides would have been scheduled for different days but it's now been revealed as to why the two fixtures are clashing. 

Due to Spanish giants Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid both being drawn at home in their respective ties, it was decided that their fixture scheduling would be prioritised.
