Outbreak claims another match in the Premier LeagueAP, LONDONA COVID-19 outbreak at Everton has forced the postponement of the club’s match against Burnley today, the Premier League said on Friday. It is the third match of the Boxing Day lineup to be postponed as part of a program that still features six games. Defending champions and league leaders Manchester City are to host 2016 winners Leicester City among the six games scheduled to go ahead. “The board reviewed the club’s request today to postpone the match following further injuries to their squad,” the league said in a statement. Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte described Thursday’s virtual meeting between the Premier League and the bosses of the 20 top-flight teams a waste of time.
