When Arsenal vs Everton could first take place after Premier League postpone fixtures

Arsenal were due to host Everton on Sunday but that game will now be rescheduled for a later date after the Premier League confirmed the postponement of this weekend's fixtures. The decision came as a result of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday.

The Queen's death prompted the beginning of a 12-day mourning period across the UK. With that in mind, the Premier League made the decision to postpone this weekend's games in order to pay respect to Her Majesty - a decision that was made for all football leagues in England.

A statement from the league's official website read: "At a meeting this morning, Premier League clubs paid tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. To honour her extraordinary life and contribution to the nation, and as a mark of respect, this weekend's Premier League match round will be postponed, including Monday evening's game."
