Manchester City have been handed a fresh advantage over title rivals Arsenal following the Premier League's latest fixture schedule announcement. The Gunners have seen the clash against London rivals Chelsea, that was due to be played on Saturday April 29, rescheduled for Tuesday May 2.
The club announced the decision on Tuesday in a statement which read: "The Premier League has announced that our home league match against Chelsea will now take place on Tuesday, May 2, kicking off at 8pm (UK time). This change has been made as a result of the Metropolitan Police revising its position on policing the match.
"After working to try to find a solution with the Met Police, we are very disappointed with the impact and disruption this fixture change will cause to our supporters, particularly after this match had been initially approved for a Saturday evening kick-off."
