Burnley and Leicester City will now only have a ‘single’ Gameweek at best after the Premier League confirmed on Friday that Saturday’s match between the two clubs has been postponed.
This time it was the Clarets who submitted a postponement application due to a number of injuries and Covid-19 cases within their first-team squad.
Sean Dyche’s side are, of course, also scheduled to be in action next Tuesday against Watford, so it remains to be seen whether the situation at Turf Moor has improved sufficiently for that fixture to go ahead.
Leicester’s one and only Gameweek 22 match is now at home to Tottenham Hotspur next Wednesday.
This latest postponement means that Burnley and Leicester now each have four outstanding league fixtures to rearrange, with the Foxes’ Gameweek 27 match against Chelsea now needing to be rescheduled due to the Blues qualifying for the EFL Cup final on the same weekend.

4 months, 9 days agoI need to free up money for Broja to Dennis by downgrading Bernardo. Are there even any good max 6.6 mids to get anymore?
Actually considering Kovacic (5.0), as he can at least be benched afterwards.
