Tottenham Vs Arsenal: North London Derby between Tottenham & Arsenal tomorrow is OFF

Arsenal's match with Tottenham in the Premier League on January 16 has been postponed following an official request from the Gunners.

A statement released by the Premier League on Saturday afternoon read:

"Following a request from Arsenal, the Premier League board met today and regrettably agreed to postpone the club's away fixture against Tottenham.

"With Arsenal having fewer than the required number of players available for the match (13 outfield players and one goalkeeper), the board accepted the club's application.

"The decision is a result of a combination of COVID-19, existing and recent injuries and players on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations."
