Explained: Why Arsenal's League Cup clash with London City Lionesses was called off

The Gunners were all set for a derby date with London City at the Princes Park Stadium in Dartford, Kent. The match, initially scheduled to take place on Wednesday evening, was called off due to a waterlogged pitch after officials deemed the ground unplayable after a thorough inspection.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Arsenal put out a statement, which read: "We regret to inform our supporters that tonight’s FA Women's Continental Tyres League Cup quarter-final against London City Lionesses has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. The decision was made by match officials following a pitch inspection at 2:30 pm. A rearranged date for the fixture will be communicated in due course. Ticket holders will be contacted directly by London City Lionesses."<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">We regret to inform our supporters that tonight’s FA Continental Tyres League Cup quarter-final against London City Lionesses has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

WHAT ARSENAL SAID

Arsenal would have faced old acquaintances in Emma Mukandi and Danielle Carter if the match was played. But Jonas Eidevall &amp; Co will now have to wait for a new date for the fixture, which will be revealed soon.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Arsenal, the reigning champions of the FA Women's League Cup, boast an impressive track record in the competition, having secured their sixth title in 2023. With victories in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2018, and the previous year, they stand as the most successful side in the tournament's history, alongside Manchester City and Chelsea.

DID YOU KNOW?

Other quarter-final fixtures remain unaffected, with Brighton hosting Aston Villa, Chelsea welcoming Sunderland, and Manchester City travelling to Tottenham Hotspur. The semi-finals are slated for March 6 and 7, with the final scheduled to be held at Molineux Stadium on March 31, 2024.
