A new date has not been confirmed, but it will likely be in the new year given the season’s packed schedule with the World Cup break.
Arsenal and Manchester City were scheduled to play tonight before more postponements.
The Gunners have pushed the champions all season, winning nine of 10 games, including wins over Liverpool and Tottenham.
Mikel Arteta’s side has answered almost every question in the opening weeks of the season, with a loss at Manchester United the only black mark.
Their biggest test to date – and likely of the season – was scheduled for tonight. Here’s why it’s been postponed.
When was Arsenal-Man City?
Arsenal vs Man City was originally scheduled for a 7.30pm BST kick-off tonight, Wednesday, October 19.
The match was due to be played at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal vs. Manchester City was postponed.
Arsenal’s Europa League match against PSV Eindhoven on September 15 was postponed due to the Queen’s death and policing shortages.
UEFA told Arsenal they had to play the game before November 3 or forfeit it to PSV, so they moved it to October 20 at the expense of their City game.
Premier League statement: “The Premier League and Uefa have agreed to postpone Arsenal FC’s Premier League match against Manchester City FC, originally scheduled for 19 October, to allow for Arsenal FC’s rescheduled Europa League match against PSV Eindhoven.
Arsenal FC vs PSV Eindhoven will now be played on Thursday, 20 October, 18.00.”
Arsenal vs. Man City when?
A new date has not been confirmed, but it will likely be in the new year given the season’s packed schedule with the World Cup break.
Both teams’ next midweek date is January 17-19, 2023.
Should that midweek be chosen, the Gunners would have played at Tottenham before hosting Manchester United.
City would have played United in the Manchester derby before Wolves’ visit.
