Antonio Conte adds fuel to fire with "unfair" Arsenal claim - but he wouldn't change it

Antonio Conte has claimed the decision made to postpone the north London derby in January was "unfair" but insists he has moved on from the incident.

Tottenham Hotspur were initially scheduled to face Mikel Arteta's side on January 16, but the game had to be called off due to Covid-19 cases in the Arsenal squad. The Gunners asked the Premier League to postpone the fixture as a result of Covid, injuries and players participating at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

Subsequently, the Premier League decided to change its rules behind postponements due to Covid after it was confirmed Arsenal had just one positive case in the squad. Meanwhile, Tottenham crashed out of the Europa Conference League in December after they had to forfeit their game against Rennes because of a Covid outbreak.
