Villa vs Spurs Postponed

As expected, Aston Villa’s scheduled game against Tottenham Hotspur at Villa Park on Wednesday this week has been postponed due to the current Covid-19 situation at Villa with 14 players & staff testing positive last week.

The Premier League’s protocol has been to postpone matches due to the potential compromise of the competition due to the reality of first team squads needing to isolate, if they have positive cases in their ranks.

Spurs, who previously suffered a recent fixture postponement due to positive Covid-19 cases in the Fulham team, at the end of December, will now play the Cottagers on the Wednesday night instead, in a fixture reshuffle that also sees Fulham’s scheduled home match against Chelsea this Friday now put back to Saturday. The all-London nature of the matches in question certainly was fortuitous in allowing the rearrangement.

Due to the isolation period needed for the Villa players who tested positive, Villa’s fixture with Everton has been pushed back a day to Sunday 17th January.
