North London giants Arsenal will host London rivals Crystal Palace in a rescheduled Carabao Cup third-round tie this autumn, following the initial postponement of their highly anticipated clash.
New Date Confirmed for London Derby
The match has been officially rearranged for Tuesday, 31st October 2023, with kick-off scheduled for 19:30 GMT at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. This Halloween fixture promises to deliver plenty of fireworks as both London clubs battle for a place in the quarter-finals.
Why Was the Match Postponed?
Football authorities were forced to call off the original fixture due to scheduling complications arising from Arsenal's packed calendar. The Gunners' Premier League match against Manchester City had already been moved, creating a domino effect that impacted their Carabao Cup commitments.
Ticket and Broadcasting Information
Supporters who purchased tickets for the originally scheduled match will find their tickets automatically valid for the new date. For those yet to secure their seats, additional ticket details are expected to be released shortly by both clubs.
While broadcast arrangements are still being finalised, the match is likely to be available through various streaming platforms and television networks that hold Carabao Cup rights.
What's at Stake for Both Clubs
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal will be looking to continue their strong domestic cup form and potentially secure silverware this season. Meanwhile, Roy Hodgson's Crystal Palace will be determined to cause an upset against their London rivals and progress deeper into the competition.
This rescheduled fixture adds another chapter to the growing London rivalry, with both teams familiar opponents from their regular Premier League encounters.
