Clubs ‘questioning integrity of title race’ over Arsenal and Liverpool fixture changes

The Premier League is facing a backlash over the latest batch of rescheduled fixtures with some clubs even ‘questioning the integrity of the title race’ over the changes, according to reports.

On Saturday, the Premier League announced which matches had been selected for live television broadcast for the final two gameweeks in April, while six previously postponed fixtures were also rescheduled.

It threw up some interesting fixture quirks, most notably with Tottenham now being given 15 days off prior to the north London derby on Sunday April 28.

That fixture, which could still be rearranged if Arsenal reach the Champions League semi-finals, comes in amongst an incredibly busy run of games for the Gunners, who play four times during Spurs’ period of rest.
