Arsenal Reject Crystal Palace’s Request To Reschedule League Cup Match

By IANS News November 01, 2025 • 12:04 PM View: 130

Crystal Palace: Arsenal have rejected Crystal Palace’s proposal to move their League Cup quarter-final to December 23, with manager Mikel Arteta insisting it would be unfair for both sides to play two matches within 48 hours.

The fixture will now take place on December 16, part of a demanding period when Palace will play four matches in eight days - against Manchester City (December 14), KuPS in the Conference League (December 18), and Leeds United (December 21).

Palace argued that both clubs deserved equal recovery time, citing that Arsenal host Wolves on December 13. They were open to scheduling the match on Christmas Eve, but that plan was abandoned after discussions with the Metropolitan Police and Transport for London, who warned of limited public transport services.
