The Premier League have confirmed a potential fixture change for Arsenal in the title race.

Arsenal’s home game against Everton, currently scheduled for Sunday March 15 could be moved, depending on the outcome of the Champions League knockout stage draw on Friday.

That game at Emirates is scheduled to be the last game Arsenal play before their Wembley showdown with Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final on March 22.

Manchester City’s game away at West Ham on Saturday March 14 could also be moved.

The Premier League has published explanation for the possible movement of the games and given further details around the decision-making process.

A Premier League statement read: “The below Premier League fixtures are subject to change - dependent on the upcoming draw for the UEFA Champions League knockout stages on Friday.

“West Ham United v Manchester City - Saturday 14 March, 12:30

“Arsenal v Everton - Sunday 15 March, 14:00

“Any changes to the above fixtures will be made as soon as possible following the UEFA draw - and UEFA’s subsequent confirmation of its match scheduling.

“The Premier League confirmed the above fixtures on 21 January and advised UEFA that clubs scheduled to play on Sunday 15 March would not be available to play Champions League fixtures on Tuesday 17 March.

“Unfortunately, UEFA has not been able to provide any guarantees on its scheduling ahead of the draw. As a result, the Premier League now faces the possibility of re-scheduling its fixtures at even shorter notice, at the inconvenience of supporters and clubs.

“The Premier League will continue its regular dialogue with UEFA over fixture scheduling.”
