Latest on West Ham’s Everton fixture as statement made after Newcastle United postponement

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) have said that it will be up to the Premier League whether or not they will allow next weekend’s fixtures to go ahead.

On Thursday, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96 and on Friday, the Premier League postponed all ten of its matches, including West Ham United’s scheduled meeting with Newcastle United on Sunday, as a mark of respect.

A decision is yet to be confirmed over whether next weekend’s matches will also be postponed, with the possibility that police resources could be stretched across the country with many people expected to head to London and pay tribute to Her Majesty ahead of her funeral, which is set to take place on Monday, September 19.
