Arsenal are furious over the scheduling for crucial fixtures against Chelsea and Manchester United and have complained to the Premier League that "it's always" them.Mikel Arteta's side are firm favourites to qualify for the Champions League after silently creeping up the table - the Gunners have a one-point buffer over United in fifth with two games in hand.

But the north Londoners are outraged at the Premier League's decision to schedule their fixture against Chelsea for April 20 - just three days before another crucial clash in the race for the top four.

Arsenal face Man United on April 23 at the Emirates, signalling a quick turnaround for Mikel Arteta's men. Worse still, the game against the Red Devils has been brought forward to a lunchtime kick-off and it's a similar situation this week.After their Premier League defeat to high-flying Liverpool on Wednesday (March 16), the Gunners' top-flight fixture at Aston Villa has been selected for TV and is now scheduled for a 12:30pm kick-off on Saturday, leaving the Arsenal boss seething."Thank you so much to the Premier League, to do that and they've done it again when we have to play Chelsea and Manchester United," said Arteta, in the wake of their 2-0 loss to Liverpool on Wednesday evening.HAVE YOUR SAY!

Is Mikel Arteta right to be aggrieved over the fixture schedule? Let us know in the comments section."So if they want to give them an advantage, I say to them today thank you so much for doing that.
