'Most City fans will be watching at home as usual anyway' will be the FA's response

BBC:

"Tonight's Premier League match between Arsenal and Manchester City is at risk of being cancelled, with a decision likely to be made in the next few hours. Officials at Arsenal are currently speaking to the Met Police and will announce their decision in due course."

I think it will go ahead as the weather forecast for London is OK.

There are worsening conditions in the South West, which will affect a limited number of people. It depends how risk averse you want to be, and how far away from London you want to take into account

It has already been said a few times there is a blank weekend 17th/18th of March when the game could be played as we are both out of the FA cup. So why not play it on that week end, unless of course Arsenal do have a game that weekend with another team who has been knocked out. Still know of a few fans who are making the trip down there today, just hope that the game is either called off, or gets the go ahead before they start their journey.

Need to win this one badly to keep the pressure up on the rags, and take the advantage back to 16pts.

There's no more snow forecast in london for today and the more built up areas are ticking over as usual. If the decision is going to be based on local transport and the situation in the immediate vicinity of the ground then i'd be surprised to see it called off.

The FA won't care how many City fans make the game, and neither will Sky, so I'd imagine that won't make a difference.
