Double Gameweek 22 match between Burnley and Leicester postponed

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 pays for itself since the james/son aren't playing but if you own Trent it's an extra transfer to remove one for Salah

      I don't really get why he's mad. His match vs Newcastle isn't the only game that ever got postponed. OK Newcastle can buy players now but it's not much different to teams getting players back from bans or suspensions for a rearrangement that they may originally have missed.

      What do we do, say 'your first choice GK was injured in December so he can't play now that he's fit for the rearrangement in April' or 'your CDM should've served a suspension against us but now that he's served it against someone else, he still shouldn't play against us'.

      At least that move puts the value in place to move to Salah when he is back, plus he has a double this week and may be playing at the top of the diamond, if Raniek sticks to that. I'm considering this at the moment, Son -> Bruno
