£ Five Premier League matches due to take place this weekend have been called off due to Covid-19 outbreaks, taking the total postponed since Sunday to nine. Widespread cases at Manchester United, Brentford, Watford, Norwich City and Leicester City have left them with insufficient players for their games against Brighton, Southampton, Crystal Palace, West Ham United and Everton. Leicester's fixture with Tottenham Hotspur, due to take place last night, was also postponed. Aston Villa's clash with Burnley and Leeds United's match against Arsenal are the only two games still set to go ahead in the top flight on Saturday.
