Why Arsenal are not playing this weekend as Gunners get rare Saturday and Sunday off

Arsenal will not be playing any first-team football this weekend as the FA Cup takes centre stage.

The Gunners are set for a rare Saturday and Sunday off as they look to prepare for the final part of the 2024/25 season.

In the Premier League, Arsenal are now 13 points behind Liverpool at the top of the table and would need to win all of their remaining games and hope for a collapse from the Reds to stand any chance of claiming the title.

The Champions League represents a good chance for some silverware, but they have ended up on the same side of the draw as Real Madrid and Liverpool.

However, a weekend off could give them a much-needed boost ahead of facing PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League round of 16.
