The Premier League has revealed that all matches in the division between September 16 and September 18 will include a number of tributes to the Queen.

Last weekend's fixtures in the Premier League were postponed as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

England's top flight will resume on Friday, though, with Aston Villa welcoming Southampton and Fulham making the trip to Nottingham Forest.

On Saturday, Wolverhampton Wanderers will host Manchester City, Bournemouth will travel to Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur will host Leicester City.

There will be two more games on Sunday, meanwhile, with Arsenal travelling to Brentford before Everton host West Ham United.

Chelsea had also been due to host Liverpool on Sunday, but the fixture has been postponed alongside Manchester United's home clash against Leeds United, with both games not taking place due to the logistical issues surrounding the Queen's funeral on Monday.

Chief Inspector Nicholas Hill of Greater Manchester Police's Specialist Operations Planning Unit said in a statement: "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."

However, with seven games in the Premier League due to go ahead, the league has set out the planned tributes to Her Majesty.

All matches will begin with a minute's silence followed by the national anthem, while the fans will be asked to applaud in the 70th minute of each contest.

"All Premier League matches between Friday 16 and Sunday 18 September will provide an opportunity for the League, clubs and fans to come together to pay tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, honouring her extraordinary life and contribution to the nation and world," read the statement.

"Fans will be asked to join a minute's silence, which will be followed by the National Anthem, God Save The King.

"Big screens and LED perimeter boards will display tribute images to Her Majesty and flags at the grounds will be flying at half-mast. When the clock turns to 70 minutes, fans will be invited to applaud The Queen's 70-year reign."

Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace had also been due to lock horns in the next gameweek, but the match was already postponed due to rail strikes. body check tags ::
