Arsenal's Premier League fixtures against Newcastle United and Manchester City have been rearranged for live television coverage in November. The changes affect two key matches in a busy period for the club, which currently sits second in the Premier League with 12 points from five games.
The home game against Newcastle United, originally scheduled for Saturday, November 21, will now kick off at 5:30pm. The following week, the blockbuster clash with title rivals Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium has been moved to Sunday, November 29, with a 4:30pm start. Arsenal's other scheduled league match that month, at home to Hull City on Saturday, November 7, remains at the traditional 3pm kick-off time.
These adjustments come as Arsenal prepare for a demanding run of games across three competitions. Mikel Arteta's side will be looking to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat away to Brighton in their last outing and maintain their strong early-season form, which has seen them win four of their first five league matches. The team has scored 10 goals in those five games, averaging 90 goal minutes per match.
The fixture changes add another layer of complexity to a packed November schedule that also includes Champions League group stage matches against Borussia Dortmund and Slavia Prague. Supporters can check the full, updated list of dates and times on the official fixtures calendar. Arsenal, who are three points behind leaders Manchester City, face a key test of their title credentials in that rearranged late-November meeting. Before that, their next fixture is a home match against West Ham United on Saturday, October 17.
