Sunderland's game at Reading is on as EFL confirm plans for midweek fixtures

Sunderland's game at Reading on Wednesday night will go ahead after the EFL confirmed plans for their midweek fixture list. All games last weekend were postponed as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

However, with the nation in the middle of a 10-day period of national mourning, it was unclear whether the midweek games would be played. There is a full fixture list of Championship, League One and League One matches on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, with Sunderland due to face Reading at the Madejski Stadium on Wednesday evening.

However, the EFL have now confirmed the games will proceed as planned, with arrangements made for a tribute to her Majesty at all venues.
