Gary Neville and Piers Morgan have criticised the Premier League's decision to postpone this weekend's fixtures following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Premier League announced their decision to postpone after taking part in a call with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on Friday morning.
The UK Government said there was no obligation to cancel or postpone events and sporting fixtures during the National Mourning period.
