Tottenham was showing live coverage of the coronation on a big screen outside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for fans with tickets to its home game against Crystal Palace.
Like other teams with home games, Tottenham said players and officials would gather at the center of the field for a rendition of the national anthem God Save the King just before kickoff.
On Friday, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/liverpool-boss-klopp-charged-over-rant-at-referee-tierney-23284510" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Liverpool</a> confirmed that it would also play the national anthem but acknowledged that some supporters have strong views on it. It said the league had contacted clubs playing home games and strongly suggested they note the historic occasion.
Liverpool supporters booed the national anthem which was formerly God Save the Queen when it was played ahead of the FA Cup final a year ago and the Community Shield in July because of what is perceived to be a long-held opposition toward the establishment.
Queen Elizabeth II held the throne for seven decades until her death last September at the age of 96.
There were five Premier League games scheduled Saturday.
Kerr, Australia's all-time top scorer, said Friday that it's an amazing honor to be part of the delegation.&nbsp;
