Premier League confirm 17 fixture changes including Arsenal vs Man City clash
Arsenal and Manchester City will now take place on October 8, with the Premier League confirming the fixture as one of several matches picked for TV in October.
The pair will now face off on October 8, with the game being broadcast live on Sky Sports. It is the first league meeting between last season's top two, with Arsenal beating City on penalties in the Community Shield earlier this month.
Other matches moved include the Manchester Derby, which will now take place on October 29. Some 17 games have been moved in total, including some non-televised games given new dates due to teams' involvement in European competition.
Arsenal host City in part of a double-header on October 8, with Brighton v Liverpool also on TV that day. West Ham's game against Newcastle has also been moved to the same day, with the Hammers in Europa League action on the preceding Thursday.
Luton v Spurs and Crystal Palace v Nottingham Forest are the televised games one day earlier, while Aston Villa's trip to Wolves could also be moved if Unai Emery's side win their Europa Conference League play-off. Both legs of their play-off will be held in August, with Hibernian or Luzern their opponents.

Chelsea v Arsenal is now a 5.30pm kick-off later that day, with Sheffield United v Man Utd and Aston Villa v West Ham on TV on the Sunday, though Man Utd's game is subject to change based on their Champions League draw.
