Preston North End's Championship clash with Stoke City on Saturday will have an earlier kick-off to avoid a clash with Prince Philip's funeral.

The funeral for His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, takes place at 3pm in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, with a national minute's silence beforehand.

All sporting events scheduled for 3pm have been moved.
