The Premier League have accepted a request from Arsenal to postpone their game with Manchester City next month to accommodate a rearranged Europa League game against PSV Eindhoven.
The north London side risked forfeiting the points after the original match against PSV — due to be played on Thursday — was unable to go ahead due to policing issues in London relating to events in the capital following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Talks have taken place between Arsenal, the Premier League and UEFA to find a compromise which was confirmed on Wednesday morning.
Arsenal versus City, which was due to take place on Oct. 19, will now be rearranged at a date to be found in due course, and Arsenal versus PSV will take place instead a day later on Oct.
