Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal fixture moved for TV coverage as Premier League issues apology

Nottingham Forest's Premier League match against title-chasing Arsenal has been moved after being selected for live television coverage.

The crunch showdown at the City Ground will still take place on Saturday, May 20, as originally scheduled. However, it will now kick off at the later time of 5.30pm UK time.

The fixture will be shown live on Sky Sports. Ticket details for the match will be confirmed "in due course".

Arsenal are currently top of the table but are being chased down by reigning champions Manchester City. In contrast, of course, Forest are in the relegation zone and fighting for their Premier League survival.

Announcing the broadcast selections for Matchweek 37 (and a new date for the postponed Newcastle United vs Brighton & Hove Albion fixture), the Premier League said in a statement: "The Premier League understands the importance of these announcements to supporters and apologises for the delay.

"Finalising these selections took longer than expected due to difficulties obtaining relevant local stakeholder approvals."
