Premier League football may well restart before the Queen's state funeral after the National League revealed its own plans to continue with upcoming fixtures this week. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be laid to rest on Monday September 19, with King Charles III confirming the day will be a bank holiday.
Leeds United are scheduled to make the trip to Manchester United on Sunday and while all the signs point towards football’s return, matches are set to be reviewed on a game-by-game basis. Of course, given the intense nature of the rivalry, Man United vs Leeds is always a heavily policed game and that is a factor that will be taken into consideration before a decision is made.
A spokesperson for the National Police Chiefs Council said via BBC Sport : "UK Policing is working closely with other organisations to ensure events are held safely and with the appropriate security.
