will thus be postponed.

Arsenal and league champions City were supposed to face each other on October 19, but it seems that the Premier League should consider a new date for this game. Arsenal and PSV were supposed to meet at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday, but the game was postponed due to the lack of police presence in London due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

UEFA statement reads:  

"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 at 19:00 CEST (18:00 local time).

"The rescheduling of this match was possible after the decision of the Premier League to postpone the domestic match between Arsenal FC and Manchester City FC originally due to be played on 19 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 death of Queen Elizabeth II has caused the postponement of Premier League matches in the last week and next week, and the football schedule has undergone a complete change.

The Premier League's statement reads:  

"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, 18:00.

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