MANCHESTER UNITED and Arsenal have had some of their postponed Premier League games officially rearranged.

Several teams have had matches axed because of Covid and the Prem have confirmed the new dates including games involving Chelsea, Tottenham and Burnley.

United's game at Brentford was originally scheduled for 14 December and will now be played on Wednesday January 19 at 8pm.

It was called off after four United players tested positive for Covid in the build up to the game.

The match will be shown live on BT Sport.

However, the new date is subject to neither side being involved in a Covid-postponed FA Cup third round tie.

As it stands Manchester United and Brentford's respective FA Cup ties with Aston Villa and Port Vale are due to go ahead as planned.

Arsenal vs Burnley at the Emirates – originally scheduled for Saturday January 22 has been pushed back to the following day at 2pm.
