Fans wait ahead of Premier League opening weekend
The Premier League and Football League will announce on Thursday whether any of this weekend's fixtures will be postponed.
The London riots, and subsequent outbreaks around the country, have led to concern about a number of games ahead of the Premier League's opening weekend.
England's high-profile clash with Holland at Wembley was abandoned on Tuesday, whilst five Carling Cup games were also postponed.
Now league officials are meeting with police to decide which games, if any, may need to be called off.
The main concern has been the scheduled Premier League games in the capital this weekend, with Tottenham due to play Everton, QPR hosting Bolton and Fulham playing Aston Villa.
Liverpool, who are due to play Sunderland, and Everton have also called for calm after Merseyside was hit by outbreaks of rioting.
The Premier League are set to make an announcement later on Thursday about their games, so stay with
skysports.com throughout the day as we will bring you all the breaking news about this weekend's fixtures.
