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.

    After Son to Maddison I will probably do also that Broja to Dennis move and (c) him. Just a game after all and I'd rather gamble on Dennis having DGW than Ronaldo being fit for both games.

          Say they are 'ready' to train monday, then surely the match won't be played tuesday?

            True, but without a game on Saturday they could train Monday.

            But that preparation point is subjective.

    Are either still worth getting or should we avoid both now?

    Another splendid game week is almost upon us...

    I am know of the opinion a SGW player is a better captain shout than what's left. I was on Ronaldo, then Maddison, but with the risk of Watford v Burnley adn Spurs v Arse being off I'm now now thinking Bowen or TAA (dont have Bruno or DDG)

    What do you think?
    Team is:
    Sanchez
    Reg TAA Rudiger Coufal
    Bowen Maddison Raphina
