Manchester United and Liverpool are among clubs who remain at risk of further Premier League fixture postponements, according to a report.
Policing resources in England are expected to be stretched to the limit ahead of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral on Monday and that puts top-flight games in doubt for the second weekend in a row. Matches across the UK were called off following the monarch's passing on Thursday, with the SPFL following the English FA and associations in Wales and Northern Ireland in announcing the shutdown as a mark of respect.
The Queen will be laid to rest following a service at Westminster Abbey in London on Monday, September 19. It was previously reported that matches in the English capital were under greatest threat of postponement, but the Daily Mail state Man United 's Old Trafford meeting with Leeds United on Sunday is one of the matches being discussed. It's believed Chelsea vs Liverpool at Stamford Bridge could also be called off.
Officers from across England are set to be drafted in to London for the funeral and its preparations. The pressure on resources could also affect Arsenal 's Europa League clash with PSV Eindhoven on Thursday.
Previous reports had indicated matches could be moved away from London to ease the burden on authorities but it was also noted that such a plan would likely be met with opposition by clubs who would be forced to make arrangements for a home fixture at short notice.
In Scotland, Rangers' Champions League clash with Napoli has been pushed back 24 hours to Wednesday. UEFA said this was "due to the severe limitations on police resources and organisational issues related to the ongoing events surrounding the national mourning for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II".
