Arsenal and Manchester City will now play on February 15, 2023, in the Premier League.
On October 19, the two clubs were scheduled to square off in a key game as both squads were engaged in an early-season title fight.
However, the match had to be moved to make room for the Arsenal’s Europa League match against PSV Eindhoven, which had been postponed following the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II.
The team led by Mikel Arteta is looking to maintain their lead going into their match as a result of the club’s confirmation of a new date.
“Our home Premier League clash with Manchester City has been rearranged for Wednesday, February 15,” read a club statement.
“The game was previously arranged for October 19 but was postponed to allow us to fulfil our Europa League commitments.”

The title race between Arsenal and City this year has produced an intriguing picture of the two teams, especially since Arteta, Pep Guardiola’s assistant before returning to north London, has raided his old squad for fresh players.
The Gunners have added two players who have been among their top performers this season in Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, who will help them face difficulties both at home and in Europe.
