Manchester City were set to take on Arsenal on October 19th, in a fixture which was part of a tough run of games before the Premier League breaks for the World Cup.
The game has now been postponed, and won't be played on the original date.
Manchester City return to Premier League action against Wolves on Saturday at 12.30pm, before the league breaks for the last international break before the World Cup begins in November.
The postponement of the fixture was announced this morning by both clubs. Pep Guardiola eluded to the possibility in his pre-match press conference yesterday, and it has now been confirmed.
The reason the game is postponed is due to the fact Arsenal's game on Thursday against PSV in the Europa League had to be postponed due to policing issues in London.
The Premier League released the following statement regarding the game.
"The Premier League has agreed with UEFA to postpone Arsenal’s Premier League match with Manchester City, originally due to be played on 19 October, to allow for Arsenal’s re-arranged UEFA Europa League match with PSV Eindhoven".
"Arsenal v PSV Eindhoven, originally scheduled to be played on Thursday 15 September, will now be played on Thursday 20 October, 18:00.
"A new date for the Arsenal v Manchester City fixture will be announced in due course."
The game had to find a new date, and the Premier League worked with Arsenal to find the most suitable one. That date was October 19th against Manchester City.
The game currently has not been allocated a date in terms of rescheduling, but it will be announced in due course.
In terms of the fixture list for Manchester City from now until the World Cup begins in November, this is how it looks now.
