The Premier League have announced that fixtures are set to resume this weekend after the top flight took a short break as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
All fixtures were postponed last weekend following confirmation of the former monarch’s passing and there was doubt over whether this week’s matches would take place due to police availability ahead of next Monday’s state funeral. However, the Premier League have announced that seven of the upcoming 10 scheduled fixtures will be played.
A statement read: “Premier League fixtures will resume this weekend after a pause to the season as a mark of respect following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
