Premier League matches involving Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham could all be played next weekend as the date for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral has been confirmed as an holiday for the country.

All the football matches between September 9-11 was canceled after the Queen passed away at age 96 on Thursday, September 8, with Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham all scheduled to play European matches within the period.

The funeral, which could have been held on Sunday, would have clashed with Chelsea’s match against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge – now expected to be Graham Potter’s first league game in charge – whilst Arsenal face Brentford in West London and Tottenham play at home against Leicester on Saturday evening.

The Department of Culture, Media and Sport confirmed to football_london that their guidance given before the Premier League’s decision to postpone games would not change. “Our guidance will stay the same. There’s no obligation to cancel as far as the government is concerned. But it’s ultimately up to the Premier League and EFL to make those decisions.”
