Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have been informed many of their Premier League matches have been rescheduled.

The three London's members of the so-called 'Big Six' have endured contrasting campaigns this season. While they are all competing in the Premier League and the Champions League, there have been varying levels of success to say the least.

Tottenham started well under Thomas Frank but the ex-Brentford manager has struggled to bring consistent results, although Spurs are only one point away from the top eight of the Champions League. Meanwhile, Enzo Maresca has enjoyed some fantastic results this season, but the Blues' recent patchiness in December has seen them lose ground in the title chase.

However, Arsenal top the Champions League and the Premier League table, even if they let some of their lead at the summit of the latter slip. All three clubs will now have to contend with some schedule changes on the horizon - football.london talks you through what they are.

Arsenal

As a result of being selected for live UK television coverage, three of Arsenal's fixtures have been re-arranged. Their February fixture against Brentford has been moved back a day to Thursday February 12 and will be broadcast on TNT Sports.

Should one of the Gunners or the Bees reach the FA Cup fourth-round, the game will be moved back another day to February 11, with an 8.15pm kick off. The second match to be re-arranged is the north London derby against Tottenham, which has been selected as a Sky Sports Super Sunday fixture on February 22, kicking off at 4.30pm.

At the end of the month for the Gunners is another London derby, this time against Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium. This has been selected as a Sky Sports Super Sunday clash again, kicking off at 4.30pm on March 1.

Chelsea

As already mentioned, Chelsea's trip to the Emirates Stadium will take place on Sunday March 1 at 4.30pm and will be live on Sky Sports. However, their home clash against Leeds United also has a new date.

Maresca's side, who lost 3-1 at Elland Road at the start of the month, will play host to Daniel Farke's men on Tuesday February 10 at 7.30pm and will be broadcast on TNT Sports.

Tottenham

As well as the aforementioned re-scheduling of the North London Derby, Spurs have seen three other matches be re-scheduled. The away trip to Old Trafford will now take place on Saturday February 7, kicking off at 12.30pm.

Three days later, Spurs will be back at home to host Newcastle United, with the Tuesday February 10 fixture kicking off at 7.30pm. After the re-scheduled North London Derby, Spurs will move west of the capital to take on Fulham at Craven Cottage.

This fixture has since been re-scheduled to Sunday March 1, where it will now kick off at 2pm.
