Arsenal face Aston Villa this weekend just three days after their clash with Liverpool at the Emirates on Wednesday night. To make matters worse the match is scheduled for the 12:30 early kick-off despite the extra late 20:15 game on Wednesday.
Mikel Arteta has made his thoughts very clear on the matter in his press conferences. When asked about the tight scheduling of fixtures, he was not one to hold back his thoughts on the topic.
“Thank you so much to the Premier League, to do that and they’ve done it again when we have to play Chelsea and Manchester United, so if they want to give them any advantage, I say to them today, thank you so much for doing that,” said Arteta satirically.
