Everton's scheduled trip to the capital to take on Arsenal this weekend is no longer going ahead after the Premier League decided to cancelled all 10 scheduled fixtures for gameweek seven.
Frank Lampard's side were set to take on the Gunners on Sunday afternoon but the passing of Queen Elizabeth II has brought the top-flight schedule to a standstill after clubs decided it would not be appropriate to carry on as normal. A Premier League statement has since been released to explain how this verdict was reached. It 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."
