Tottenham To Play Fulham On Wednesday With Aston Villa Game Postponed

Tottenham Hotspurs’ Premier League game against Aston Villa which was supposed to be played on Wednesday has been postponed and replaced with their game against Fulham, which was rescheduled back in December.

A number of coronavirus cases at Aston Villa saw Dean Smith’s side field their under-23 team in an FA Cup third round tie against Liverpool last Friday. The Premier League champions came out victorious in a 4-1 triumph.

The situation at Aston Villa has shown little improvement in recent days and the Premier League have decided to call off the fixture for now, with a new date set to be communicated later.

Tottenham’s home game with Fulham was originally scheduled to be played on December 30 but was also called off after a Covid-19 outbreak in the Cottagers’ camp.

Spurs confirmed the news in an official statement on their website, which reads: "We can confirm that our fixture against Aston Villa, due to take place on Wednesday 13 January, has been postponed.

"Our previously postponed home fixture against Fulham, originally scheduled for 30 December 2020, will now take place on the same evening (Wednesday 13 January).

"The Premier League informed us of the decision following a request by Aston Villa on the grounds of the number of their players and staff who have either tested positive for Covid-19 or have been placed in isolation.

"Everyone at Tottenham Hotspur sends their best wishes to Aston Villa for a safe and speedy recovery to all those who are affected.

"Details of a new date for our match at Villa Park will be confirmed in due course."
