The match on the banks of the River Thames at Craven Cottage is still set for its original date, Saturday, October 18 - however the start of the the capital clash has been moved from 3pm to 530pm so Sky Sports can  broadcast the fixture. 

Arsenal said in a statement the change "was part of the Premier League's October broadcast selections, and none of our league fixtures across the rest of the month have been affected by the scheduling changes.

"That means our home games against fellow London sides West Ham United on October 4, as well as Crystal Palace on October 25, remain in the traditional Saturday 3pm slot."
