Why Arsenal vs Brentford is Only Premier League

While 18 of the 20 Premier League teams are in action on Sunday or Monday, Arsenal will not play their match against Brentford until Wednesday, making them the only top-flight clubs scheduled for a game on New Year’s Day. The Gunners will be hopeful that they can close the gap between themselves and league leaders Liverpool to six points after Arne Slot’s side ran riot with a 5-0 victory over West Ham.

 

While the obvious reason for the unusual fixture scheduling is that New Year’s Eve shares a similar festive atmosphere with Christmas Day, previous seasons have seen Mikel Arteta’s side play on December 31 before. The Gunners traveled to Fulham on December 31, 2023, and faced Brighton on the same date in 2022.

 

This season, however, is different, and it’s led to discussions among fans on social media about the reasons behind the changes, further adding to the confusion surrounding the scheduling process. However, an explanation has now emerged.
