Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal: Arsenal request the Premier League to postpone Sunday’s North London derby

“We can confirm we have made an application to the Premier League for the postponement of Sunday’s north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur.

We have reluctantly taken this step but we have many players currently unavailable across our squad as a result of Covid, injuries and players away with their countries at AFCON. We will provide more information as soon as it’s available.”

Arsenal had held off Liverpool in the Semi-final of the Carabao Cup after falling to 10 man with Granit Xhaka getting sent off. Martin Odegaard had tested positive before Arsenal made the trip to Anfield.
