Arsenal gets 19days break from football

Arsenal faces a 19-day break from Premier League action due to their involvement in the FA Cup.

The race for the Premier League title might hinge on an unexpected factor – the FA Cup. All three 2023/24 title contenders remain in the competition, with quarter-final ties confirmed on Wednesday, February 28.

Manchester City takes on Newcastle United, Chelsea hosts Leicester City, Wolves face Coventry, and one of the most anticipated matches is Manchester United against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Fa cup quarter-finals schedule

The quarter-final ties will be played on the weekend of March 16/17.

The participation of six Premier League teams in the FA Cup quarter-finals has led to the postponement of their scheduled league fixtures.

This situation could pose significant challenges for Liverpool and Manchester City, especially with their upcoming clash on March 10.

Arsenal’s 19days pause from football

Arsenal is set to face disruptions even without participating in the FA Cup, as their scheduled match against Chelsea on the weekend of March 16/17 will also be postponed due to the FA Cup fixtures.

Mikel Arteta’s team is set for a busy schedule, with a match against Sheffield United on March 4, followed by a London derby against Brentford on March 9.

After attempting to overturn a 1-0 deficit against FC Porto in the Champions League three days later, they’ll have a significant break until March 31 when they face Manchester City in what could be a crucial title decider.

The 19-day gap between Arsenal’s match against Porto and the clash with Manchester City presents both an advantage and a disadvantage for Arteta’s team.

While it allows ample time for preparation against City, the extended period without a game may potentially dull the team’s sharpness.
