TOTTENHAM and Arsenal face off in what is set to be an almighty North London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The crucial Champions league top four spot looks set to be on the cards when the teams meet again in their huge rescheduled place later on this season.
The game was originally set for Sunday, January 16 but the Gunners asked for the match be called off after a Covid outbreak at the club.
A Premier League statement had read: “Following a request from Arsenal FC, the Premier League Board met today and regrettably agreed to postpone the club’s away fixture against Tottenham Hotspur, due to be played at 4:30pm on Sunday 16 January.
“With Arsenal having fewer than the required number of players available for the match (13 outfield players and one goalkeeper), the Board accepted the club’s application.
“The decision is a result of a combination of COVID-19, existing and recent injuries and players on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.
“All clubs are able to apply for a postponement if COVID-19 infections are a factor in their request.
“The League apologises for the inconvenience and disruption caused to supporters who would have attended or watched the game – we are fully aware that postponements disappoint clubs and fans.”
