The Premier League has announced that Chelsea’s visit to the Emirates Stadium to play Arsenal will now be on Tuesday 2 May.

The match will kick off at 8pm and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

This London derby had been due to take place on Saturday 29 April. The Premier League has published the following explanation:

'The initial scheduling of this match was approved at a Safety Advisory Group (SAG) meeting in February. However, the Metropolitan Police has now revised its position regarding the kick-off time and requested a further SAG meeting which determined the match had to be re-scheduled.
 
'We regret the need to move this fixture at late notice and the impact this will have on supporters.'
