Arsenal are still waiting to receive news of when they will play their postponed fixture against Everton at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunner have played at least one game less than all other top-tier sides besides Liverpool, Brentford and Leeds United who have also played 19 so far.
Everton were due to visit north London and Arsenal on September 11, however, the decision to suspend the clash came as a result of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, September 8.
A statement from the league's official website read: "At a meeting this morning, Premier League clubs paid tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. To honour her extraordinary life and contribution to the nation, and as a mark of respect, this weekend's Premier League match round will be postponed, including Monday evening's game."

The wait to find out when Arsenal might replay the game has frustratingly continued despite the latest announcement of fixture changes in March by the Premier League. Arsenal have had two matches moved, both being London derbies.
Arsenal were due to visit Craven Cottage to face Fulham on Saturday, March 11, however, the game has been pushed back a day to Sunday with kick-off now at 2pm. Title rivals Man City will travel to south London to face Crystal Palace at 5:30 pm the day before.
The next week, Arsenal again were due to play on Saturday, March 18, but have seen the game pushed to Sunday, March 19, with the game again kicking off at 2 pm. City will play two-and-a-half hours later at home to West Ham United subject to FA Cup participation.
Manchester United’s rescheduled game away at Palace took place in the week of their weekend defeat to the Gunners last Sunday. David de Gea questioned why they had to play the game there meanwhile Arsenal, who had the fixture with Everton still to be rescheduled themselves, had no midweek action.
With FA Cup and Europa League action potentially both still to come, should the Gunners beat Man City on Friday, the schedule is very busy. There is one free midweek slot at the beginning of April, the week commencing Monday, April 3, where it is possible this game might be slotted in.
This would sandwich games at home against Leeds United before the Gunners then make the trip to Anfield. A tough one, but the games need to be played.
