Premier League rules around postponements<\/strong><\/h2>\n

These factors are considered when deciding whether to postpone a top-flight game:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The impact of COVID-19 infections on a club’s squad, as well as injuries, illness and those isolating, and the number of players available on the squad list and any Under-21 players with appropriate experience. Where a club cannot field 13 outfield players and a goalkeeper either from its squad list or its appropriately experienced Under-21 players, the match will be postponed.<\/li>\n
  2. The status of any COVID-19<\/a> outbreak within a club, including the number of individuals affected, the sequence and source of infections, and their proximity to the match in question.<\/li>\n
  3. A club’s ability to safely prepare its players in the lead-up to a match.<\/li>\n
  4. Medical advice as to whether there is an unacceptable risk to the health and safety of players and staff by playing the match.<\/li>\n
  5. Any advice from UK Health Security Agency and other public bodies.<\/li>\n
  6. Any other exceptional circumstances.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
