Arsenal receive North London Derby boost after rearrangement leaves Antonio Conte torn

This was the expectation. The North London Derby was too much of a teasing dangling carrot for the Premier League not to make the fixture a top-four decider. The expectation is that Arsenal will travel to Tottenham on the week commencing May the 9th. Although this is yet to be confirmed.

Reports suggest that it is set to be a dramatic week of football with Manchester United scheduled to face Chelsea over that weekend. Arsenal though can take some positivity from the decision as their preceding and subsequent fixtures are more assailable than Spurs’.

Tottenham will play Liverpool the weekend before as the Reds will still be embroiled in a race for the title with Manchester City. Whilst Arsenal host a relegation battling Leeds United.

Arsenal will then travel to Newcastle who could be safe from the drop by then whereas Antonio Conte will have to overcome the visit of a Burnley team likely to still be very involved in the relegation scrap. A Burnley side that it is worth noting beat Spurs earlier in the season.

Ultimately form always goes out the window in the North London Derby and Arsenal would be working with the records against them. The Gunners have not won a league match at Spurs since Mikel Arteta himself was a player back in 2014.
