They have had to wait a little longer than anticipated, but Arsenal will finally welcome PSV Eindhoven to the Emirates Stadium on Thursday after the original fixture, scheduled for September 15, was postponed.
The decision was made due to concerns surrounding policing issues in the capital relating to events following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. football.london understands that Arsenal ideally wanted the game to go ahead before it was eventually decided that it would be best to rearrange it for another date altogether, which was confirmed as October 20.
After winning all three of their opening matches in Group A, Arsenal can secure a place in the knockout stages of the Europa League if they manage to beat PSV. However, Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side, which currently sits second in the Eredivisie table, is full of exciting talent and arguably represents the Gunners’ toughest challenge in the competition yet.
