Arsenal's Carabao Cup tie kick-off time against Crystal Palace will force women's team into making major change
11/06/2024 12:27 PM
Arsenal’s Carabao Cup quarter-final clash with Crystal Palace has caused problematic implications to their Women’s side.
The Gunners welcome the Eagles to the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, December 18 in a London derby as both teams look to book a place in the last four.
Mikel Arteta‘s men and Oliver Glasner’s side will battle in north London at 7:30pm.
It is the same date and venue that Arsenal Women have been scheduled to face Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
That fixture has been pencilled in to start at 8pm, but they may now have to possibly take on the German giants at their usual ground Meadow Park – home of Boreham Wood.
Another option could be to change the date of the fixture.
Arsenal’s midweek fixture with Palace was announced on Wednesday afternoon, with the club swiftly releasing an update on what it means for their women’s team.
A statement from Arsenal read: “We are liaising with UEFA, and further details regarding our UEFA Women's Champions League match against Bayern Munich will be announced in due course.”
At the time of writing, tickets for the Women’s Champions League fixture are still available for purchase.
