SHEFFIELD UNITED’S Championship meeting with Oxford and Portsmouth’s clash with Ipswich are among a host of today’s matches postponed due to frozen pitches.

The Blades said the match referee called off their fixture after a pitch inspection at Bramall Lane due to concerns over player safety.

Pompey’s Fratton Park was also deemed unplayable after an 11am inspection.

The freezing conditions across the country means 15 EFL matches have been called off.

In League One, Doncaster’s home match against Luton Rotherham’s clash with Mansfield and Stevenage’s match against Leyton Orient were called off.

In League Two, the matches at Barnet, Barrow, Bromley, Cambridge, Colchester, Harrogate, Newport, Notts County, Port Vale, Salford and Walsall have also been postponed.

Tomorrow’s National Hunt fixtures at Ludlow and Lingfield have been abandoned due to frozen tracks.
