Why Arsenal and Chelsea are not playing in the Premier League this weekend

Arsenal's Premier League clash against Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium has been moved to Tuesday, May 2 after being rescheduled from it's original date of Saturday, April 29. The Gunners will be hoping to pick up their first win in four games whilst Frank Lampard is yet to win after returning to Stamford Bridge.

Mikel Arteta's side have dropped points in their last four fixtures which has allowed Manchester City to close the gap at the top of the table to just two points. Pep Guardiola's side have two games in hand on the Gunners and could move four points clear of Arsenal if they win those fixtures.

Chelsea are languishing much further down the table and are winless in their last eight games across all competitions. The Blues are set to miss out on European football next term and still need to appoint a permanent successor after sacking Graham Potter earlier this month.
