EFL confirms decision for Bristol City and Bristol Rovers' midweek games at Norwich and Ipswich

Bristol City and Bristol Rovers' midweek fixtures are set to go ahead as scheduled, the EFL has confirmed.

The round of fixtures over the weekend was postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, with the football authorities choosing to call off all fixtures from Premier League to the grassroots level as a mark of respect.

Provided the required policing and Safety Advisory Group arrangements can be put in place – with a national policing plan in action in the wake of the Queen's death, meaning some officers have been mobilised elsewhere – Rovers' trip to Portman Road to face Ipswich Town on Tuesday and City's game against Norwich City at Carrow Road on Wednesday will go ahead as planned.
