Help! Ars*nal 2nd March?

[RonBurgess51]

Serious question, does anyone have a good idea when the Ars*nal game scheduled for 2nd March is likely to be played?
I know the tv picks for March are at the end of January, but my daughters first birthday party will be the weekend of the game. I obviously don't want to miss that, but also want to be at new WHL to see us rout the gooners, not missed the derby since 88.
Do Sky and BT take it in turns to pick the fixtures they want, and does that mean it is more likely to be sat or sun?
Under presssure from the wife to fix the party date and get invites out, so if anyone does have any idea if the game will be Saturday or Sunday it would be appreciated. Being a season ticket hokder and having a family feels incompatible due to the constantly changing fixtures!

My guess is 1230 2/3/18. European match follows so will be on the Saturday. We won’t a late kick off in biggest match in new stadium just yet.

You'll be lucky, one guess will be as good as another and you'll be none the wiser. What would be helpful is if that in the future, you timed your evil rooting so that any consequences arrive in the summer

Yeah, safest bet would be Saturday 12:30. We play Chelsea on the Wednesday before and the following Tuesday against Dortmund, so the game will remain on the Saturday. Would be very surprised if it was a later kick off as the police won't want both sets of fans drinking all day before the game.

well like @nicdic said don't expect a late KO and with us playing Dortmund on the Tuesday it will mean the Saturday. they will put the Fulham v Chelsea and the Mersey derby on the Sunday
