„Premier“ league has released an official announcement before the upcoming 8th round of matches. The previous 7th round was postponed due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. In the upcoming round, we will only see three matches: „Brighton“ against „Crystal Palace“, „Chelsea“ against „Liverpool“, and „Manchester United“ against „Leeds United“. The last two matches were postponed due to insufficient police forces. The matches, which were supposed to take place on Sunday, may cause a lot of controversies, requiring many officers at the stadium, so for safety reasons, the matches will take place on other dates. Matches between „Tottenham“ and „Leicester“, as well as „Brentford“ and „Arsenal“, will take place, although there were also questions raised about these meetings because they are being played in London. The „Brighton“ - „Crystal Palace“ match was canceled a little earlier due to ongoing strikes at train stations. Queen Elizabeth's funeral will take place next Monday, so London has more visitors than ever before, and the police are working at full capacity in the city.
The #PL 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 Matchweek 8 fixtures will be played, with three postponed due to events surrounding The Queen’s funeral. — Premier League (@premierleague) September 12, 2022
