Arsenal's Premier League fixtures for December have been revealed.
The Gunners north London derby match with Tottenham has been moved to Sunday 6 December, while games against Southampton and Brighton have also been moved forward by one day and selected for broadcast by Amazon Prime Sport.
Mikel Arteta's side will be boosted by that a limited number of fans will be able to attend matches after the national lockdown is lifted from December 2.
Football fans across the UK have been locked out since March but they can now return in tier 1 and tier 2 areas, with London falling into the latter category.
Tier 2 restrictions mean that 2,000 fans can attend matches following the end of the national lockdown on December 2.
Arsenal's December fixtures:
Tottenham vs Arsenal (Sunday 6 December, 4:30pm)
Arsenal vs Burnley (Sunday 13th Dec, 7:15pm)
Arsenal vs Southampton (Weds 16th Dec, 6pm - Amazon)
Everton vs Arsenal (Sat 19th Dec, 5:30pm)
Arsenal vs Chelsea (Sat 26th Dec, 5:30pm)
Brighton vs Arsenal (Weds 29th Dec, 6pm) - Amazon)
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta was asked about the news before it was confirmed during his pre-match Europa League press conference on Wednesday.
"It would depend where we are in terms of the infections but it looks like we're going to be able to host some of our fans in the stadium which is fantastic news," said Arteta.
"We have been working really hard as a club, the club has a really good project and everything is almost ready to try to accommodate everybody in a safe way."
The news means that Arsenal's first Premier League match after the national lockdown ends will be a north London derby against Tottenham, where 2,000 fans will be allowed to attend.
