Arsenal's Premier League fixture with Manchester City has been postponed by the Premier League, with Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola's reunion put on hold.

Arsenal's fixture has been moved to accommodate the club's other postponed fixture against PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League. The Gunners are top of the table with a four-point lead over City and north London rivals [Tottenham](/latest/tottenham-hotspur-fc) and it seems as though they will be able to hold onto that advantage after seeing their fixture rearranged.
