Arsenal will face PSV on October 20th instead of Manchester City the day prior, as UEFA and the Premier League organised a switch of fixtures to fulfil Europa League requirements. Concern grew when the match that was supposed to go ahead this week was scrapped due to policing issues.
Arsenal had been confident that a solution would be found and would not need them to forfeit the clash. This has now been agreed and the Gunners could well welcome the idea of facing their Europa League opponents between EPL matches with Leeds and Southampton.
However, like the Everton match, the City game is expected to be pushed into 2023 with no available slots prior to the World Cup. This creates quite the predicament for Arsenal should their season have something of a perfect run.
