Arsenal FC news: Manchester City Premier League game could be postponed

Weather has forced Arsenal to postpone Premier League games previously

Wednesday, February 28, 2018

Days after being hammered 3-0 by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final, Arsenal are due to play Pep Guardiola’s table toppers again.

However, Thursday's Premier League clash may not even go ahead if the ‘Beast from the East’ continues to batter Britain with the Emirates pitch covered in snow.

Arsenal do have undersoil heating at their stadium, which would be able to clear the snow if it was not too heavy.

But the surrounding area around the ground could be hazardous for fans, which is a safety fear for the local Islington Council.

In January 2010, the club postponed a game against Bolton when weather wrecked havoc on the country (above) and despite ‘red weather warnings’ being issued by the Met Office in parts of the UK, Man City plan to travel to London on Thursday - when more snow is scheduled to fall - and not the night before.

And should the club actually fail to turn up, Premier League rules mean the Gunners would be awarded a 3-0 win if it is the other team's fault they cannot fulfil the fixture.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
