There's apparently no game on Thursday...(Arsenal Away)

[Frogfish]

I'd rather play this with a depleted squad than push the fixture pile up down the road, but I presume we wouldn't be asking if the situation wasn't even worse than for the Chelsea game.

Maybe this will force them to change it to a one-match semi instead - especially if we can get the new 1st leg at home postponed too.

Arsenal's revised fixtures in January (Premier League otherwise stated)
09/01 - Nottingham Forest (a) - FA Cup third round
13/01 - Liverpool (a) - Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg
16/01 - Tottenham (a)
20/01 - Liverpool (h) - Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg
22/01 - Burnley (h)

Oh yeh I'm sure they will, just waiting for the day the FA, EFL and PL sit around 1 big happy family table and discuss fixture congestion and player welfare.

Klopp will finally be able to tick that off his Christmas wishlist from 5 years ago.

Haha of course they won't. We had to play two games within 24 hours. 48 hours ? Manna from heaven !

Given the rapid rate of Covid in London I'm surprised neither Chelsea or Spurs are affected, Both pretty much at full strength.

Spurs had their outbreak about a month ago.

Chelsea have had theirs in dribs and drabs. Last month Lukaku and Werner both out. Today a further 2 cases.

Looks like there were a few positives we took away from the Chelsea game...

Early post of the year candidate IMO.

Sounds good to me.

In other words, we’re never playing again.
