Mikel Arteta has warned that ‘anything is possible’ when asked if clubs could be forced to pull out of competitions amid a fixture pile-up.
Arsenal are set to play Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, which is designated to fall on either Tuesday December 16 or Wednesday December 17.
It is understood that the Gunners have requested for the match to be held on the Tuesday.
Yet Palace play Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday December 14, and then face Kuopion Palloseura in the Europa Conference League on Thursday December 18.
