Some Premier League teams will back in action in European competition between Tuesday and Thursday — Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham in the Champions League, plus Manchester United in the Europa League and West Ham in the Europa Conference League — ahead of scheduled league games on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.Games in London appear to be the most at risk because of the vast security operation surrounding the queen’s funeral.
Arsenal’s Europa League home game against PSV Eindhoven on Thursday in London was postponed by UEFA because of “severe limitations on police resources and organizational issues.” UEFA and Arsenal face challenges in rescheduling the game amid the congestion caused by the World Cup being played in November and December in Qatar. Arsenal has no clear midweek dates before the Europa League groups are scheduled to finish on Nov. 3, with the round of 16 draw scheduled for Nov. 7.
