Manchester United's Europa League tie against Sheriff Tiraspol is set to go ahead on Thursday.
United are confident the game will be played, despite the Premier League's decision to cancel all matches this weekend out of respect for the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Manchester City's midweek Champions League fixture against Borussia Dortmund also looks set to be given the go-ahead as teams look return to some kind of normality following the monarch's sad passing.
United have been the first to confirm that their fixture is set to go ahead after releasing a statement on their club website. The correspondence read: "Following discussions with the relevant governing bodies and in line with guidance issued by the UK Government, we can confirm our UEFA Europa League fixture against FC Sheriff will take place as scheduled on Thursday evening in Moldova.
"Match arrangements will remain the same for fans who are travelling to support the team in Chisinau."
