Dublin's Aviva Stadium 'on standby to host English football clubs' European fixtures next week' if there is a sport blackout following the Queen's death, with a decision due this morning

The Aviva Stadium in Dublin is being placed on standby to host European competition matches for English clubs next week.

Following the news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, not football matches are expected to be played in Britain for up to ten days, as a mark of respect for the Queen's passing.

Premier League clubs are thought to be anxious to fulfil matches in UEFA competitions, to avoid a fixture backlog - even it it means moving them to a neutral venue.
