Premier League fixture latest as Manchester United and Liverpool call offs 'loom large'

Manchester United and Liverpool are among clubs who remain at risk of further Premier League fixture postponements, according to a report.

Policing resources in England are expected to be stretched to the limit ahead of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral on Monday and that puts top-flight games in doubt for the second weekend in a row. Matches across the UK were called off following the monarch's passing on Thursday, with the SPFL following the English FA and associations in Wales and Northern Ireland in announcing the shutdown as a mark of respect.

The Queen will be laid to rest following a service at Westminster Abbey in London on Monday, September 19. It was previously reported that matches in the English capital were under greatest threat of postponement, but the Daily Mail state Man United 's Old Trafford meeting with Leeds United on Sunday is one of the matches being discussed. It's believed Chelsea vs Liverpool at Stamford Bridge could also be called off.
