Fulham’s premier league opener against Villa at Craven Cottage will go ahead!
This, along with a few other games, had been in doubt although it was confirmed on Thursday afternoon that all games, bar Spurs’ home game against Everton, will go ahead.
A statement was issued by the premier league, published on the official website: ‘Following on-going discussions with the Metropolitan Police, statutory authorities and clubs in London, The Premier League can confirm that, aside from the postponed Tottenham Hotspur v Everton match, all League games in the capital will go ahead as scheduled this weekend.
‘The Premier League has worked closely with the authorities and London-based clubs throughout the recent civil unrest to ensure matches are staged in accordance with supporter safety.
‘While all efforts were made to try and facilitate the Tottenham Hotspur v Everton match by the Metropolitan Police and the local authority, the situation on the Tottenham High Road proved too difficult to overcome.
‘The Premier League would like to thank the Metropolitan Police and all the other relevant police forces for their efforts and on-going communication during this difficult time.
‘Acting on current information from the authorities there is no reason to believe that matches outside of London will be affected at this time.’
Game on it is!
