The death of Queen Elizabeth II has created great uncertainty about what will happen to English football. The weekend's Premier League fixtures were cancelled due to protocols in the UK but the suspensions look set to continue and will continue to affect the fixture list in the run up to the World Cup in Qatar.

Liverpool were due to play Hampton at Anfield on Saturday but the game has been postponed. After the 4-1 defeat in the Champions League group stage against Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, the team led by German coach Jürgen Klopp had to concentrate on Tuesday's home game against Ajax.

Given his poor performance, Joe Gomez will soon have competition

Even the international game at Anfield was also in doubt. But UEFA has confirmed that the game will go ahead, with the Reds needing a win to avoid a difficult qualification to the last 16. Liverpool must win and convince their fans who have generated a series of criticisms for the team's poor performance at the start of the season.

But the match on Sunday 18 September between Chelsea and Liverpool at Stamford Bridge is also in doubt. Due to all the events scheduled in London to honour the late leader, it could be cancelled and postponed to a new date, according to journalist David Lynch on his Twitter account on Monday night.

Why would the game be suspended?

One of the reasons why the match between Blues and Reds would be suspended would be due to the lack of police elements. Due to the fact that the events in honour of Queen Elizabeth will require a large number of security elements, there would not be enough to protect the fans who come to Stamford Bridge. It should be mentioned that Arsenal's Europa League game on Thursday has already been called off.
