Arsenal have submitted a request to the Premier League to have Sunday’s North London Derby postponed with a decision due on Saturday.
The Gunners have injuries, suspension and a single Covid19 case in Martin Odegaard to deal with which could leave them short of numbers for the match on Sunday afternoon.
Tottenham are surprised at the request from their north London rivals without a Covid outbreak at Arsenal.
Spurs had matches called off last month following a large outbreak of nine first team players, five coaching staff and many more U23 players.
