Premier League changes caused havoc between Tottenam and Arsenal!
Premier League announced changes in the calendar due to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, but caused a crazy situation ahead of the North London derby at the 28th of April. There is now a favorable situation for Tottenham, while Arsenal will have to face perhaps the most difficult period of time in the pursuit of the top spot until the end!

The North London derby at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is set for April 28.
On those days, Tottenham will be the more relaxed of the two big rivals. Although it was supposed to face City on the 20th of the month, the match was postponed due to the participation of the "citizens" in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
Instead of the midweek fixture being scheduled for the very next week, City have been set to play Brighton on 25/04!
This means that Postecoglou's "spurs" will play on 13/04 against Newcastle and the next match will be on the 28th against Arsenal! That means there is a break of two weeks!
In the same period, Arsenal will have to play four games (!) before the "clash" with their fellow citizens, having to contend with Aston Villa, Bayern Munich (for the Champions League), Wolves and Chelsea!
Of course, it is reasonable to cause concern to Mikel Arteta’s team, which will be claiming the title, against City and Liverpool.
