The Gunners were scheduled to face the Dutch giants on Thursday night at the Emirates Stadium, but the match was postponed due to policing issues.

As a result, Mikel Arteta 's side needed to find another suitable date, and it has now been confirmed that the game will be played on Thursday, October 20.

The rescheduling of the fixture has coincided with the postponement of the Manchester City's Premier League game against Arsenal on the road.

The clubs were due to meet on October 19, but the Premier League will now find a fresh date which will most certainly be next year.

Arsenal are presently top of the league table with 15 points on the board. They face a tough outing at Brentford on Sunday.

The Gunners were convincingly beaten 2-0 at Brentford last campaign, and Arteta will be hoping for a much better performance.
