England's top football clubs could play in Dublin after Queen Elizabeth II dies

The Champions League may be coming to Dublin after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

All of this weekend's football games in England have been postponed, and the continued cancellation of fixtures could last as long as 10 days.

It was thought the ban could affect Derry City hosting Bohemians tonight, but the game will go ahead. It is due to be broadcast on RTE2.

It is understood that Premier League clubs are anxious to go ahead with games in European competitions to avoid a backlog of fixtures.

And, according to the Irish Sun, Dublin's Aviva Stadium would be the preferred venue for English clubs due to their proximity and the venue's size.

Liverpool are due to host Ajax in a Champions League game next Tuesday, while Napoli are scheduled to travel to Ibrox to face Rangers.

In addition, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Arsenal all have home fixtures in the competition next week.
