Leeds United’s trip to Manchester United on Sunday could be played next weekend as the date for Queen Elizabeth II's funeral has been confirmed as a bank holiday for the country. All football matches across the Premier League and EFL between September 9-11 were cancelled after The Queen passed away aged 96 on Thursday.
Despite some reports indicating next weekend’s action could also be in doubt, Premier League action could get back underway from Friday with The Queen's funeral set to take place on Monday, September 19. King Charles III confirmed at his proclamation that the funeral would be marked by a Bank Holiday for the country, indicating that it is likely to take place on the Monday.
The funeral, which could have been held on Sunday, would have clashed with Leeds’ trip to Old Trafford. With the dates of the two events not set to clash, there is more chance that the games will be played over the weekend.
