The Premier League will pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II this weekend by having a minute's silence before every game followed by the national anthem.
The league said Wednesday that fans will also be invited to applaud at the 70-minute mark, in recognition of the queen's 70-year reign. Players will wear black armbands and managers have been asked to consider wearing a suit.
Last weekend's games were all postponed following the queen's death last Thursday at the age of 96.
Seven games will be played this weekend. Chelsea-Liverpool and Manchester United-Leeds were both postponed because of limited police resources ahead of the queen's state funeral on Monday. Brighton's home game against Crystal Palace had already been postponed because of a planned rail strike, which has since been canceled.
A period of silence was also observed before Liverpool's Champions League game against Ajax on Tuesday.
