The Premier League have confirmed that Arsenal’s penultimate match of the season against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground has been moved to the evening slot on Saturday 20th May.
It will kick off at 5.30pm and will be broadcast in the UK by Sky Sports.
Steve Cooper’s side has dropped like a stone over the last nine matches and currently sit in the relegation zone. If their fate isn’t decided by then, it could be a very tricky match. Our last two trips to Forest, both in the FA Cup, have ended in annoying defeats.
Assuming no other members of the royal family meet their maker in the coming weeks, that should be that in terms of fixture meddling.

Hahaha!
Would be happy for them all to go one by one, and for the season to drag out until October, by which time Man City’s 6 point deduction will have come into play.
It’s ridiculous how many matches are in the late slot. All the pressure is on us.
If we are even a point clear come the Forest game then the title is as good as won. Those last two games are slam-dunks. It would be great to win it in front of our fans home to Wolves.
Hahhahahaha – soooo not cool…
