Arsenal’s u23s were set to welcome Manchester United on Friday 16 October but the game has now been moved to Saturday 17 October with a 2pm kick-off at Boreham Wood.
Arsenal’s u23s got their Premier League 2 campaign off to a poor start at the weekend when they lost at home to Southampton 2-4.
By the time they play United in mid-October, the u23s will also have played against Brighton, Spurs, and Chelsea in a run of fixtures that would give even the seniors a serious stress-test.
