Guardian: Arsenal and Crystal Palace successfully applied to bring forward the 17th round of the league competition

6686 Sports News on November 12 According to the British "Guardian" report, the two clubs Arsenal and Crystal Palace's request to reschedule the 17th round of the Premier League has been approved. The two teams' league matches on Sunday have been moved to Saturday, that is, one day ahead of schedule.

In the quarter-finals of the League Cup, Arsenal will face Crystal Palace. This game is scheduled for December 23. However, two days before this game, on December 21, Arsenal and Crystal Palace will both play the 17th round of the Premier League, facing Everton and Leeds United respectively. In other words, according to the original schedule, the two teams need to play two games in two days.

Such a schedule was unbearable for both teams. They both made a request to the Premier League to reschedule the 17th round of the league, and eventually this request was approved. The league matches between Arsenal and Crystal Palace are scheduled to be played one day in advance, that is, at 8pm local time on Saturday, December 20.

However, even if the league match is rescheduled, Crystal Palace's schedule is still somewhat tight. They will face the Finnish team Gubis in the UEFA Europa League on December 18. But for Crystal Palace, they prefer to squeeze in time between the two games against Gubis and Leeds United to better prepare for the game against Arsenal.
