The Arsenal games selected for TV as Amazon, BT Sport and Sky confirm December and January picks

Arsenal fans are facing some significant changes to the festive schedule of fixtures, following the confirmation of the television picks for December.

Supporters now know when the Gunners will be in action over the Christmas period, after the television picks were finally confirmed this afternoon (Thursday).

The television picks were expected to be announced last Friday, but have been delayed by six days, with several supporters' groups speaking out to criticise the delays.

But the games picked by Sky Sports, Amazon and BT Sport over the festive period have now been confirmed.

And nine of Arsenal's matches in December and January have been selected, with heavyweight clashes against Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United among them.

The Gunners' trips to the London Stadium and Goodison Park to face West Ham and Everton have also been switched, although Arsenal's away game against Bournemouth on Boxing Day remains as a 3pm kick off.

However, that will be shown on Amazon Prime Sport, along with the Gunners' midweek clash against Brighton & Hove Albion, which will now take place on Thurday, December 5.

With Arsenal's trip to face Norwich City having already been moved to Sunday, December 1, this means Arsenal will be shown on television for each of their fixtures in December, and ten times between December 1 and January 21.

In January, Arsenal's games against Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Chelsea will also be shown live.

Arsenal's schedule for December and January is now as follows:

Sunday, December 1 - Norwich City vs Arsenal - 2pm kick off (live on Sky Sports)

Thursday, December 5 - Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion - 8.15pm (Amazon Prime Sport)

Monday, December 9 - West Ham vs Arsenal - 8pm kick off (live on Sky Sports)

Sunday, December 15 - Arsenal vs Manchester City - 4.30pm kick off (live on Sky Sports)

Saturday, December 21 - Everton vs Arsenal - 12.30pm kick off (live on BT Sport)

Thursday, December 26 - Bournemouth vs Arsenal - 3pm kick off (Amazon Prime Sport)

Sunday, December 29 - Arsenal vs Chelsea - 2pm kick off (live on Sky Sports)

Wednesday, January 1 - Arsenal vs Manchester United - 8pm kick off (live on BT Sport)

Saturday, January 11 - Crystal Palace vs Arsenal - 12.30pm kick off (live on BT Sport)

Saturday, January 18 - Arsenal vs Sheffield United - 3pm kick off

Tuesday, January 21 - Chelsea vs Arsenal - 8.15pm kick off (live on BT Sport)
