North London Derby among three Arsenal fixtures moved in March as TV schedule confirmed

Arsenal now know when they will play fierce rivals Tottenham after next month's North London Derby was rearranged.

It was one of three Premier League matches in March that have been re-scheduled for the Gunners.

Mikel Arteta will be hoping his first local derby at the Emirates Stadium will be a chance to get one over on Jose Mourinho, with the Portuguese manager having won both of their previous two meetings.

In fact Arsenal have not beaten Spurs since their 4-2 victory in 2018 during Unai Emery's first season in charge at the Emirates.

The game will take place at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, March 14 at 16:30 GMT and will be televised for viewers in the UK on Sky Sports.

It is the second fixture Arsenal face next month.

The derby will be preceded in the Premier League by a tough trip to Turf Moor to face Burnley on March 6 in the Saturday lunchtime kick off at 12:30 GMT, which will be broadcast on BT Sport

The Gunners will then finish over their league action for the month with a trip to West Ham on March 21, kicking off at 15:00 GMT which will be on Sky.

The Premier League will then pause for an international break with plenty of Arsenal players set to jet off around the world to represent their countries.

The games next month will be vital for determining where the Gunners end up at the end of the season.

They currently sit 10th in the table, but should they win all three - two of which are against sides currently above them in the table - they will be well on their way to securing a European spot for next season.

Anything else though and they may well be forced to prioritise the Europa League in order to secure continental football next campaign.
