Arsenal vs Man City exact dates Premier League fixture could be rescheduled for

Depending on whether you are a glass half full or glass half empty kind of Manchester City fan, you will either be frustrated or happy that City's Premier League fixture against Arsenal is not happening on Wednesday evening.

City suffered their first defeat of the season on Sunday when they lost 1-0 to Liverpool at Anfield, a result that leaves them four points adrift of current table toppers Arsenal.

Pep Guardiola's side were the only undefeated side left in the division; Arsenal lost to Manchester United at the beginning of September, but their otherwise perfect record means that Mikel Arteta's men have taken 27 points from a possible 30.

Whether City would have bounced back from Sunday's disappointment or struggled against an in-form Arsenal is up for debate. What we do know is that the match still hasn't been rescheduled.

The game was postponed last month due to Arsenal needing to re-arrange a Europa League fixture against PSV Eindhoven for this Thursday (October 20). The Gunners match against the Dutch side was originally postponed due to concerns over policing resources in the capital following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

With other midweek dates unavailable due to European fixtures and the international break, this week represented the only opportunity for Arsenal to play their Europa League game before the World Cup to avoid forfeiting it. The Premier League therefore agreed to postpone the City match.

Considering that City and Arsenal both have seven and eight games left to play before the start of the World Cup respectively, the rearranged date is not going to be until the new year. Premier League fixtures
