Arsenal’s matches against Chelsea are usually fierce local derbies, but the 2023/24 Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium will likely have extra meaning given the Gunners’ title hopes.
Mikel Arteta’s team moved to the top of the table after matchday 28, and their spectacular victory over Brentford came a day before title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City drew 1-1 at Anfield .
They were due to host Chelsea in north London on March 16. In the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge last October, Arsenal came back from two goals down to draw 2-2, so hopes are high that this latest clash can provide plenty of drama.
However, the match was postponed due to the FA Cup quarter-finals taking place on the same weekend. Jugo Mobile has the latest information on when the match will be played.
When is Arsenal-Chelsea? Date and time of the Premier League London derby
Arsenal vs. Chelsea was scheduled for Saturday, March 16 at 12:30 pm local time (8:30 am ET). However, the match was postponed due to the FA Cup quarter-finals being played on the same weekend.
The Premier League has not yet confirmed when the rescheduled match will take place. There may possibly be midweek dates in April, however the weeks commencing 8 and 15 April will not be available if Arsenal overturn a 1-0 deficit in the first leg against Porto and reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
The following midweek of w/c April 22 seems to be the most likely place for the meeting. If Arsenal’s run in the Champions League continues to the semi-final stage, then the only remaining alternative for the match against Chelsea would be the match on May 13, the final week of the Premier League season.
Why was Arsenal vs Chelsea postponed?
The match was postponed due to the FA Cup quarter-finals, which will be played on the same weekend (March 16 and 17). Arsenal are no longer in the competition, having been eliminated by Liverpool in the third round in January, but Chelsea will face Leicester City at Stamford Bridge on March 17.
Which Premier League matches have been postponed due to the FA Cup quarter-finals?
