Arsenal have seen their Premier League home match with Chelsea rescheduled. Due to a policing request with the King’s Coronation preparations taking place in the days leading up to the following weekend, Arsenal have seen their London derby with the Blues moved from Saturday, April 29 to Tuesday, May 2.
Arsenal have already had a number of their games moved this season due to the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The World Cup taking place in the winter months of 2022 has further stacked up the fixture schedule.
In light of the latest reschedule, football.london has taken a look at three certain implications of the switch. The impacts range from social issues to further effects on fixtures around the Chelsea match.
