Premier League make decision on Tottenham vs Arsenal date as North London Derby rearranged

The Premier League have confirmed that the North London Derby between Tottenham and Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will take place on Thursday, May 12 at 7.45pm.

The original fixture was supposed to take place in January, but had to be called off after the Gunners applied to have it postponed due to absences related to COVID-19, injuries, and the African Cup of Nations in their camp. "We are disappointed to announce that Sunday’s north London derby at Tottenham Hotspur has been postponed," read a statement on the club's official website.

"We know how much this match means to our fans around the world, but the Premier League has made the decision to postpone the match, due to many players across our squad currently being unavailable as a result of COVID-19, existing and recent injuries, in addition to players away with their countries at AFCON."
