Arsenal's home fixture with Manchester City could be postponed as the 'Beast from the East' has hit the Emirates Stadium.

The continuous snow and frosty chills have caused chaos with schools closing and commuters affected due to the poor weather conditions.

And the Premier League could also be affected as the Thursday night game between Arsenal and Manchester City may not go ahead.

Pep Guardiola's side are taking the risk of travelling to London on Thursday rather than staying in the capital overnight.

Manchester City are planning to take the train on Thursday morning but heavy snow could affect their route.

Clubs tend to stay in hotels ahead of fixtures which require hours of travel but City have decided against such arrangements.

The Premier League are likely to make a call on the fixture on Thursday morning and the conditions around the Emirates Stadium will also come into play.

If the surrounding areas of the ground are deemed to be dangerous then the league may decide to call the fixture off.

The Emirates Stadium can accommodate almost 60,000 fans while stewards, matchday staff and members of the police will also have to be in attendance.

Pep Guardiola's side are scheduled to travel down to London on Thursday morning 

Arsenal and Manchester City will battle it out just four days after the Carabao Cup final
