Why Arsenal vs Chelsea will be played on Tuesday after Premier League decision

Arsenal are set to face London rivals Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night. The Gunners have dropped to second in the Premier League table after Manchester City beat Fulham on Sunday afternoon.

Mikel Arteta's side will be hoping to return to winning ways with a victory against the Blues - who continue to struggle under Frank Lampard. The Gunners were set to play Chelsea on Saturday, April 29 at 5.30pm, but the game was postponed due to policing issues.

The match against Chelsea will now take place on Tuesday, May 2, with the game kicking off at 8pm. Following the postponement of the fixture, Arsenal released a statement expressing their disappointment as the club attempted to find a solution with the Met Police.
