Leeds United's away match with Manchester United postponed
It's due to events surrounding Queen Elizabeth's funeral
Leeds United's trip to Old Trafford this weekend has been postponed due to "events surrounding the Queen's funeral".
A statement has confirmed: "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,"
"Seven of the 10 Premier League fixtures this weekend will be played, with three matches postponed due to events surrounding The Queen's funeral.
"In addition, kick-off times will change for two Premier League matches.
"Matches postponed on Sunday 18 September are Chelsea's matches against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, and Manchester United's home match v Leeds United."
"Following extensive consultation with clubs, police, local Safety Advisory Groups and other relevant authorities, there was no other option but to postpone the three fixtures," the Premier League statement continued.
"The Premier League would like to thank the UK Football Policing Unit and other police forces across the country, as well as our broadcast partners, for their support during this process, and will continue to liaise with them ahead of the weekend.
"For the matches being played during the period of National Mourning, tributes will be paid to The Queen at Premier League stadiums.
"New dates for the postponed matches will be announced in due course."
Chief Inspector Nicholas Hill, of Greater Manchester Police’s Specialist Operations Planning Unit, said: “Greater Manchester Police is supporting forces across the United Kingdom in keeping people safe at locations and events of high-significance following the passing of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
“We have plans in place to ensure we can provide this support whilst effectively serving our own communities.
“We are also working with partner agencies to consider the viability of un-related but exceptionally large events in Greater Manchester. This includes the Manchester United vs. Leeds fixture, which has been postponed with the support of the Safety Advisory Group and the club.”
