Premier League move games to accomodate Arsenal-Palace
Premier League rescheduled Arsenal's and Crystal Palace's league matches to ease fixture congestion ahead of their Carabao Cup quarterfinal, prioritizing player recovery and welfare, league said.
- On Dec. 20 the Premier League has moved Arsenal and Crystal Palace matches to 8 p.m. GMT from 2 p.m. GMT on Dec. 21 to accommodate a Carabao Cup quarterfinal at the Emirates Stadium on Dec. 23.
- After the Cup tie was rescheduled to Dec. 23 due to Palace's Dec. 18 KuPS trip, officials said expanded UEFA competitions left inadequate recovery time, prompting the move.
- After lodging appeals to the Premier League, Arsenal and Crystal Palace secured earlier fixtures, and supporters benefit from subsidised coaches priced at #10, with Arsenal organising extra travel options.
- In practical terms, a Premier League spokesperson said, `Player welfare is a priority for the Premier League, and we have therefore granted requests from Arsenal and Crystal Palace to move their fixtures,` and Arsenal added they are organizing additional supporters' coaches priced at #10 for travel challenges.
- With Palace set to play two games in three days, the EFL said the December change was "entirely unavoidable" and highlights the impact of expanded UEFA competitions on the domestic calendar.
