The covid keeps the Premier in check: nine matches have been postponed so far and the highlight of the Tottenham-Liverpool weekend also appears in doubt. Four races suspended in four days and five out of ten to be rescheduled in the weekend calendar. The covid is knocking out the Premier, the mirror of a country with 80,000 infections a day. A suspension of the tournament appears likely. West Ham, Man United, Leicester and Watford, among others, will not play. It seems complicated to think that Conte's Tottenham, after having missed three games in a row (including the one with Rennes in Conference) can take the field on Sunday with Liverpool in what was to be the highlight of the weekend. Klopp continues to thunder against no vax players.Instead, the Man United-Brighton match was postponed as the Red Devils have about twenty infected in the team group. More likely, the games of the other two favorites, Manchester City and Chelsea, awaited by an uncomplicated task with Newcastle and Wolves. But the Blues are also dealing with the pandemic: four positives, including Lukaku.
