Manchester City confirm Premier League clash with Arsenal will take place on Wednesday, March 11

Manchester City's Premier League clash against Arsenal will go ahead on March 11.

The game has been approved to take place next Wednesday, much to the relief of Pep Guardiola's side, who are short of midweek slots for the rest of the season.

The fixture - which will see Mikel Arteta return to the Etihad Stadium for the first time since leaving City to become Gunners boss - was scheduled for last Sunday, but City were involved in the Carabao Cup Final against Aston Villa at Wembley.
