Burnley have requested for Tuesday’s match against Watford to be postponed, with the Premier League set to make a decision on Monday.
The Clarets were successful in their appeal to have Saturday’s match against Leicester postponed last week, due to a number of Covid cases and injuries in the squad.
It was the fourth Burnley match this season to be postponed due to Covid-19, but the first time the request had come from the Turf Moor club. They also had a game against Tottenham postponed because of heavy snow.
A league statement issued on Twitter read:
“The Premier League has received a postponement request from Burnley relating to their home match against Watford due to be played at 7:30pm GMT on Tuesday 18 Jan.
“The Premier League Board will meet later today to review the application and inform both clubs and their fans of its decision.”
