Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side play host to highflying London rivals Fulham on Tuesday evening, with the Gunners’ title hopes hanging on by the thinnest of threads
Arsenal welcome eighth-placed Fulham to the Emirates on Tuesday evening, needing a win to keep their ever-dwindling title hopes alive.
Mikel Arteta’s men have failed to reel in Premier League champions-elect Liverpool, who have opened up a 12-point lead at the top of the table with just eight matches remaining. The Gunners won’t yet have given up hope, with both of the top two due to meet at Anfield in May, but they face a tricky outfit in Marco Silva’s Cottagers midweek.
Sitting just four points off fourth and eager to bounce back after a disheartened FA Cup quarter-final loss to Crystal Palace, the west London side will pose a significant threat. Yet, those in the UK won’t be able to watch the match live on TV, as Mirror Football brings you details ahead of kick-off.
Why isn’t Arsenal vs Fulham on TV?
The Gunners’ clash is one of three Premier League fixtures pencilled in for Tuesday evening, with Wolves vs West Ham and third-placed Nottingham Forest’s match against Manchester United taking place.
Both Arsenal vs Fulham and Wolves vs West Ham will kick off at 7:45pm, though neither will be on TV as they have not been selected for coverage.
Provider TNT Sports opted for 8pm kick-off Nottingham Forest vs Man Utd instead. Sky Sports’ picks are the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton on Wednesday, followed by Chelsea vs Spurs on Thursday.
This will change next from season, however, as all matches not scheduled for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday will be broadcast live in the UK thanks to the Premier League’s new TV deal.
How to watch Arsenal vs Fulham outside of the UK
Though fans in the UK cannot follow the action live on TV, those in other countries can. Optus Sport will broadcast the match in Australia, for example.
In the US, Peacock will air this fixture – as NBCUniversal holds the rights to all 380 Premier League games this season – while those in Canada can watch along through fuboTV Canada.
Where to catch highlights of Arsenal vs Fulham?
UK-based fans can’t watch the game live if they don’t have a match ticket, and once the clash has finished, they will have to wait until Sky Sports makes their three-minute highlights available on YouTube and the Sky Sports app around 20 minutes after the final whistle.
Sky Sports will also have a 30-minute highlights package of the match late on Tuesday evening.
BBC One’s Match of the Day, airing at 10:40pm on Wednesday, will also feature extended highlights, which can alternatively be viewed on BBC iPlayer.
