Arsenal’s clash with Man City postponed as UEFA sets new PSV date

Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Manchester City has been postponed, while the club’s Europa League group game against PSV Eindhoven has been rescheduled for Thursday, October 20.

This was made known via separate statements issued by UEFA and the Premier League on Wednesday.

Arsenal’s original game against PSV Eindhoven, which was due to be played at the Emirates on Thursday, was postponed due to a lack of available police in London following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

A UEFA statement read: “UEFA today announced that the UEFA Europa League tie between Arsenal FC and PSV Eindhoven, originally scheduled to be played on Thursday 15 September, will now be played on Thursday 20 October.

“UEFA would like to thank the Premier League and the clubs concerned for their flexibility and cooperation in the rescheduling of the UEFA Europa League match which had been postponed due to the impossibility for local police forces to guarantee its secure staging.”

The Premier League, in its statement, said: “The Premier League has agreed with UEFA to postpone Arsenal FC’s Premier League match with Manchester City FC, originally due to be played on 19 October, to allow for Arsenal FC’s re-arranged UEFA Europa League game with PSV Eindhoven.

“Arsenal FC v PSV Eindhoven, originally scheduled to be played on Thursday 15 September, will now be played on Thursday 20 October.

“A new date for the Arsenal FC v Manchester City FC fixture will be announced in due course.”
