Manchester United v Leeds United fixture postponed
Old Trafford match called off.
Leeds United’s away Premier League fixture against Manchester United, due to take place at Old Trafford on Sunday 18th September 2022 has been postponed.
Some Premier League fixtures 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 Premier League fixtures this weekend will be played, with three games postponed due to events surrounding The Queen’s funeral.
In addition, kick-off times will change for two Premier League matches.
Games postponed on Sunday 18 September are Chelsea FC’s game against Liverpool FC at Stamford Bridge and Manchester United’s home match versus Leeds United.
Brighton and Hove Albion FC’s fixture against Crystal Palace FC, due to be played at 3pm on Saturday 17 September, will also remain postponed.

Following extensive consultation with clubs, police, local Safety Advisory Groups and other relevant authorities, there was no other option but to postpone the three fixtures.
The Premier League would like to thank the UK Football Policing Unit and other police forces across the country, as well as our broadcast partners, for their support during this process, and will continue to liaise with them ahead of the weekend.
For the matches being played during the period of National Mourning, tributes will be paid to The Queen at Premier League stadiums.
A rearranged date for the game will be announced in due course.
