Sunday's Championship game between Sheffield United and Oxford United is one of numerous EFL matches postponed because of frozen pitches.

The Global Sumud Flotilla carrying aid to the Israeli-blockaded Gaza Strip has been forced to turn back due to poor weather, according to a statement by the group and sources travelling with the mission.
