Chelsea's Premier League clash with Liverpool is "highly likely" to be called off this weekend.
Pressures on police resources in London ahead of the Queen's funeral are believed to be the decisive factor with the Stamford Bridge fixture - scheduled for Sunday at 4.30pm - set to be postponed. Professional matches across the UK were called off last weekend following the monarch's passing, aged 96, on Thursday.
The SPFL and Irish FA have announced that matches may resume from Tuesday after being postponed as a mark of respect. But no such decision has been taken on England's Premier League as yet. The Mirror report new Chelsea boss Graham Potter will likely be made to wait for his dugout debut after moving to London from Brighton - it's said concerns on the number of officers available is driving the anticipated decision.
