Arsenal is facing a challenging buildup to the North London derby compared to Tottenham Hotspur
The Gunners are still contending for silverware in both the Premier League and the Champions League.
April will indeed be a crucial month for Arsenal as they strive to secure silverware in both the Premier League and the Champions League, with pivotal fixtures in both competitions looming on the horizon.
Arsenal faces unfavorable fixture schedule
In contrast, Tottenham Hotspur’s focus is primarily on securing a spot in the Premier League’s Champions League positions, currently holding the last spot with a six-point gap to Manchester United.
As a result of their differing priorities, the schedules for the two teams leading up to the North London derby on April 28th vary significantly. Arsenal’s final fixture before the derby is an away match against Newcastle on April 13th, affording them a substantial 15-day period to prepare for the crucial derby clash.
On the flip side, Mikel Arteta faces the challenge of managing his squad effectively as Arsenal is scheduled to play four games within that 15-day period.
Will the Gunners survive?
Reports from TheSun shows Tottenham’s match on April 13, Arsenal will have league fixtures against Aston Villa on April 14, Wolves on April 20, and Chelsea on April 23.
It’s noteworthy that the clash against Chelsea is a rescheduled fixture, adding to the intensity of the Gunners fixture congestion.
