Confirmation of the date of King Charles III’s coronation has raised questions as to whether a round of EFL fixtures – including that of Sheffield United – will have to be rescheduled.

The coronation will take place on May 6, which is currently scheduled as the final day of regular season fixtures throughout the EFL.

The Blades are scheduled to make the trip to Birmingham City in a match that could stand to have huge ramifications when it comes to the situation at both ends of the table.

United’s trip to Rotherham United was hastily rearranged during the period of mourning of Queen Elizabeth II and will be played on Tuesday November 8. Reports north of the border have already suggested that a rearrangement of fixtures in Scotland is ‘likely’.

No official statement has yet been made by the EFL since the coronation date was confirmed by The Royal Family on Tuesday evening.
