January 1, 2020 Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus celebrates scoring their second goal [REUTERS]Everton's Premier League match at home to Manchester City on Monday has been called off due to new COVID-19 cases reported at City, the league said in a statement. City returned a number of positive cases for COVID-19 after confirming four positives last week, including striker Gabriel Jesus and defender Kyle Walker. The Premier League board agreed to rearrange the game as a precaution after City lodged a request following the latest round of testing. "The Premier League continues to have full confidence in its protocols and rules, and the way in which all clubs are implementing them." "All positive cases involving players and staff will observe a period of self-isolation in accordance with Premier League and UK Government protocol on quarantine," City said in a statement.
