Two of next weekend’s biggest Premier League’s matches have been called off because of policing issues related to the Queen’s funeral. Hours after Arsenal’s Europa League tie at home to PSV on Thursday was postponed it was confirmed that Manchester United v Leeds and Chelsea v Liverpool would go the same way.

The Premier League said the other seven fixtures due to be played from Friday would go ahead, with Brighton v Crystal Palace having already been postponed for unrelated reasons.
