Liverpool's planned trip to Chelsea on Sunday afternoon has been postponed as a result of policing concerns surrounding the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II - with Everton's home clash against West Ham United on the same day to go ahead.
The FA made the decision to postpone football throughout the pyramid last weekend, with all 10 Premier League games called off as a mark of respect, following the passing of the Queen on Thursday afternoon. There have since been concerns over another weekend of affected fixtures as hundreds of thousands of mourners flock to London to pay their respects.
Particular concern was to games based in the capital, with the majority of police needed to manage crowds of mourners, but there was also the potential for other games across the country to be affected as regional forces are redeployed south. And there has now been a decision to postpone Liverpool's planned trip to Stamford Bridge, while Everton's game at home to West Ham will go ahead.
