Cat amongst the pigeons!
There’ll be no Double Gameweek 33 or Blank Gameweek 34 for Arsenal or Newcastle United after the Gunners exited the FA Cup on Saturday night.
Mikel Arteta’s side were dumped out of the cup by Championship side Southampton, who prevailed 2-1 at St Mary’s.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR BLANK GAMEWEEK 34?
GW34 Premier League fixture Status Match will be postponed if the following occurs:
Brighton v Chelsea Blank
Burnley v Man City Blank
West Ham v Everton Possible blank If West Ham beat Leeds in the FA Cup quarter-finals
Bournemouth v Leeds Possible blank If Leeds beat West Ham in the FA Cup quarter-finals
Arsenal v Newcastle On
Liverpool v C Palace On
Fulham v Aston Villa On
Man Utd v Brentford On
Sunderland v Nottm Forest On

Number of postponements: 3
This result means that we’ll only get three blanks in Gameweek 34, the last of which will be confirmed tomorrow.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 33?
And, as a result, we’ll now only get six teams doubling (not eight as we thought) in Gameweek 33.
The images below show how Double Gameweek 33 will look, depending on who wins in the final FA Cup quarter-final tie on Sunday: West Ham United v Leeds United.
NO MORE DOUBLE GAMEWEEKS FOR ARSENAL THIS SEASON
Saturday’s result at St Mary’s means that Arsenal will not have another Double Gameweek this season. Newcastle won’t get one, either.
