Leaders Arsenal's home game against Chelsea has been postponed to May 2 due to policing issues, the Premier League said on Tuesday."The initial scheduling of this match was approved at a Safety Advisory Group meeting in February," the Premier League said in a statement.
"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." Arsenal, who play second-placed Manchester City on April 26, will have a five-day break after the top-of-the-table clash before they face London rivals Chelsea.
"After working to try to find a solution with the Met Police, we are very disappointed with the impact and disruption this fixture change will cause to our supporters," Arsenal said in a statement.
