Pep Guardiola and his star-studded squad were due to play Arsenal this Premier League matchday but the fixture was postponed.

With fixtures coming thick and fast before the World Cup gets underway on November 20, it is almost impossible for a date to be sorted before then. But while the Gunners did consider and propose other options - such as reversing their away fixture with PSV - this was ultimately not possible. Here is everything you need to know about the postponement and when it could be rescheduled. [Arsenal](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/arsenal-fc) - with former City coach [Mikel Arteta](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/mikel-arteta) at the helm - have picked up 27 points from a possible 30 so far this campaign and currently lead the way. However, while the Reds did overcome [Pep Guardiola](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/pep-guardiola) and his squad at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, there appears to be another would-be contender in town. [City](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/manchester-city-fc) might have anticipated long-term rivals Liverpool to present the biggest threat to their crown once again.

Arsenal were originally meant to be taking on Manchester City on Wednesday night but the game's postponement means a new date is set to be confirmed.

What both teams do have to bear in mind, however, is the FA Cup and Carabao Cup. [Chelsea](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/) respectively in the Carabao Cup third round in November, then the aforementioned dates of January 10, 11 and 25, along with February 1, will become free. The same applies to Man City and their Champions League campaign. That means January is the earliest opportunity to fit the match in, though it does depend on a couple of things. The Premier League is pencilled in for December 26 and 31, leaving no available room. The current league leaders were set to take on Manchester City tonight, but a postponement earlier this season has meant that the Premier League clash is being pushed back.

Premier League games will go on as scheduled, but there is one obvious gap in the calendar after Arsenal vs. Manchester City was postponed.

In order to give Guardiola’s team some respite, nine additional games will be played around the division. Here is all the information you require on the postponement and potential rescheduling dates. However, even though the Gunners did think about and suggest alternative solutions, like reversing their away game against PSV, this was ultimately not feasible. The city is currently four points behind. Even though the Reds defeated Pep Guardiola’s team at Anfield on Sunday, it seems like there might be another potential challenger in town. The domestic match against City had to be postponed as a result of negotiations with the Premier League and the European organization, which resulted in the selection of a new date (October 20).

Arsenal moved four points clear at the top of the Premier League on Sunday as they recorded a 1-0 win over Leeds United in a controversial game at Elland Road. [Premier League](/topic/premier-league) statement confirmed: "The Premier League has agreed with UEFA to postpone Arsenal’s Premier League match with [Manchester City](/topic/manchester-city), originally due to be played on 19 October, to allow for Arsenal’s re-arranged UEFA Europa League match with PSV Eindhoven. Arsenal are four points clear at the top of the Premier League but fans will have to wait for the much-anticipated meeting between the Gunners and reigning champions Manchester City.

A new date for Arsenal vs Manchester City is yet to be announced after the initial fixture was postponed.

As it stands, Premier League matches are scheduled for January 2, 14 and 21, while the third round of the FA cup is set for January 7. Should both advance but fail to reach the semi-finals, then January 25 and February 1 would work. How both sides fare in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup could have an impact though. The Premier League therefore agreed to postpone the City match. Premier League fixtures on Boxing Day and December 30 rule out the possibility of a festive date. 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.
