Newcastle United's Premier League clash with Arsenal at St James' Park has been moved after being selected by Sky Sports for TV coverage.
Eddie Howe's side were due to take on the Gunners on Saturday, May 6. However, the date has now been altered to allow it to be screened by Sky Sports with the match pushed back a day to kick-off at 4:30pm (GMT) on Sunday, May 7.
Arsenal and Newcastle played out a 0-0 draw then they last met at the Emirates Stadium back in January. The Magpies became the first team in the Premier League this season to stop the league leaders from scoring and will no doubt be hoping to replicate the same feat one more time.

Both sides have plenty still to play for this term with Newcastle currently holding their Champions League fate in their own hands. The Magpies are two points behind fourth-placed Tottenham but have played two fewer games than Spurs - victory for Howe's squad in their first game back after the international break against Manchester United would see them move up into third in their own right on goal difference.
Arsenal meanwhile are battling with Manchester City for the top spot. Mikel Arteta's side currently hold an eight-point lead over Pep Guardiola's men, but have played one more game than the reigning champions this term.
It will no doubt be a nail-biting affair when the two sides meet at St James' Park as Sky Sports also seem to acknowledge just how important a match it can prove to be for either side's objectives this season.
