Tottenham and Arsenal will lock horns in the penultimate week of the season for a pivotal North London derby which could determine the race for Champions League qualification, according to reports.
The two local rivals had been due to meet on 16 January before the Premier League chose to postpone the fixture after the Gunners were struck by coronavirus and injuries. Top-flight chiefs are yet to confirm a new date for the derby, which is one of nine games still to be rescheduled.
However, they are understood to have earmarked the week commencing 9 May for Spurs to welcome the Gunners to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This would leave just two rounds of fixtures to be played after the derby concludes, with Arsenal facing Newcastle and Everton while Tottenham take on Burnley and Norwich.
