Fulham to play Tottenham at two days' notice after Spurs v Aston Villa off
11-Jan-2021 13:30:31 | The Guardian
- Coronavirus outbreak hit Villa’s first team last week
- Fulham unimpressed and have Friday game moved too
Tottenham will play Fulham, rather than Aston Villa, in the Premier League on Wednesday night with the Cottagers’ subsequent fixture against Chelsea pushed back a day in a complex piece of rescheduling that shows the challenge of continuing elite sport during the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Premier League confirmed Aston Villa had requested their match against Spurs be postponed following a substantial coronavirus outbreak at the club. The league accepted that request, then asked Fulham to fulfil the fixture instead. That match up will go ahead, despite Fulham’s misgivings, as will the west London derby with Chelsea, albeit on Saturday rather than Friday.
