Two of Arsenal's Premier League fixtures in November have been changed for TV coverage in what is looking to be a very tough month for the Gunners. It includes the first meeting between Mikel Arteta and Enzo Maresca since Manchester City were battered in the Community Shield in August.
All the games had been scheduled for Saturday 3pm kick-offs besides the trip to Anfield on November 1, which had already been moved so it can be broadcast on TV. Arsenal face Liverpool away from home on the Sunday at 4:30pm UK time, with the fixture announced in the last round of published kick-off times.
After the poor result against Brighton, the three-week international break covering two full weekends of action has delayed Arsenal’s chance to respond to the result swiftly. They must instead wait until October 10 where they will host Leeds United, followed by a trip to Nottingham Forest, the visit of Everton to the Emirates Stadium and then that infamous Anfield clash to start November.
