Last updated : 08 February 2011 By Dan Buxton

City's trip to the Emirates Stadium has been put back 24 hours to Wednesday 23rd February, ko 7.45pm.

The original game was postponed in December due to heavy snow and has now been put back from its originally rearranged date of Tuesday 22nd February due to the Gunners playing there FA Cup tie away at local rivals Leyton Orient on Sunday 20th.

The Potters will fancy their chances at the Emirates as Arsenal will be coming off the back of a Champions League game against Barcelona on the Wednesday prior to the game aswell as the aforementioned derby with Orient, and will also be preparing for the Carling Cup final just four days after the Potters visit the Gunners, whilst all City have to contend with is an FA Cup tie at home to Brighton on Saturday 19th, with their next league game against West Brom having been put back 48 hours to Monday 28th, allowing City maximum recovery time for the visit of the Baggies.
